Welcome to the second episode of Will It Square!, the puzzle series that asks the simple question: will it square? 🔳 🎥 The first episode looked at Statue Park, and in this one, we’ll be looking at Shakashaka (Squares). This genre is particularly interesting because it can include both diagonal and edge-aligned squares. Without further ado… will it square?

Rules: Shade a right triangle in some empty cells, each of which occupies exactly half the cell it’s in. Each unshaded area must be rectangular in shape. A number in a cell represents how many of the (up to) four cells orthogonally adjacent to the clue contain triangles. Additionally, all unshaded areas must be squares.

Note: All unshaded areas must be square; this includes both diagonal and edge-aligned squares, and includes 1x1 squares!
