Today's genre on Puzzle Square's advent calendar is Kropki Pairs. It sure is a shame today isn't a Saturday - the stars almost aligned perfectly for the long-awaited supersized Kropki.
Instead, I've been on a Wittgenstein Briquet writing spree lately. I wrote 3 of them for the upcoming [REDACTED] and it was also selected as a genre for the [REDACTED] of [REDACTED]. Perfect excuse to write one for GAPP as well while I'm at it!

Rules: Locate some 1x3 blocks in the grid which may not overlap each other or the clues. A clue represents how many of the (up to) four surrounding cells are used by blocks. All cells which aren’t used by blocks must form one orthogonally connected area.
