Today's ✨ Word of the Day ✨ is "bookkeeper", which has three double-letters in a row, and today's GAPP is a Not Alone, which is the other puzzle I made based on PR round 6.

Rules: Place exactly one black or white circle in each cell such that every row and column contains the same amount of white circles and black circles. No circle can be sandwiched between circles of the opposite color, either horizontally or vertically.

Interface note: You can use either Shading or Composite > Yin-Yang for answer check. For Shading, all black circles must be shaded, even the given clues.

Finish the puzzle in 3:00 or less for a Speedy Sloth 🦥!

Finish with any time at all for a Swan or a Greater Sage-grouse (choose one!) 🐦
