Today's GAPP will depend on what theme you're using on Discord right now. If you're using light mode, then it is a Guide Arrow (Yajisan-Kazusan). If you're using dark mode, then it is meaningless.

Rules:
- Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area.
- No complete loop of cells may be unshaded (including 2x2s).
- If an arrow is unshaded, it indicates the only direction in which one could begin a path to the star without going through a shaded cell or backtracking. If an arrow is shaded, it’s meaningless.

GAPP 101: There is a commonality shared by both shaded and unshaded arrows! Cells directly pointed to by an arrow must be unshaded, regardless of whether the arrow itself is shaded or unshaded
