Subomino is basically the naughty cousin of Fillomino. You don't want to see them at every family gathering, but they're fun to have around from time to time.

I assume that's how most people would view it, anyway. I think of it as butter or a rice cooker - almost everything can be improved by a Subomino puzzle. It's an incredible genre.

Rules: Divide the grid into regions of orthogonally connected cells. Number clues indicate the size of the region they are contained in. A region can contain one or more numbers, or none at all. When two regions share a border, it must not be possible to fit one region entirely into the other region (without changing the region's orientation or size).

Shaded cells are not part of any region (there are none in these puzzles).

Note: Regions of the same size may be adjacent, unlike in Fillomino.
