Rules:
- Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area no 2x2 regions are entirely shaded.
- Letters cannot be shaded, and every orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells contains exactly one letter.
- Areas containing the same letter must have the same size, while areas containing different letters must be different sizes.

Interface note: You can use the table given on the right side to mark possible sizes for the letters. Numbers will not be checked by the answer checker, only the shading.
