Friendly reminder that Puzzle Ramayan round 1, authored by our very own @Prasanna16391, starts later today. The contest will be open until the 13th of February. I took the test yesterday and it was fun and well worth it as always! Bonus otters available upon participation, give it a try! 🦦

A while back I also spotlighted Nikoli's new online puzzle platform. It didn't receive any new puzzles for a long while after that, but good news coming out of Nikoli - looks like it'll be updated with a new puzzle 3 times a week going forward (on Sunday, Monday and Thursday)!

Today's puzzle is a Walls!

Rules: Place a horizontal or vertical line segment into each empty cell, connecting the centers of two opposite edges of the cell. Line segments joined at their ends form longer lines. A clue indicates the sum of the lengths of the lines extending from it.

Acquire a Speedy Sloth 🦥 by solving in 2:15 or less!
Obtain a Quick Crab 🦀 by solving in 4:30 or less!
All solvers who complete the puzzle will be rewarded with an Anchor Accentor 🐦!
