I just bought these new numbers from the number store, but I accidentally dropped them in water and they became too big to fit in a regular Aqre. Not that it matters, since today's puzzle is a Pentominous (Borders).

Previous Pentominous (Borders): Archive: Friday, 15 November 2024

Rules: Divide the grid into regions of five orthogonally connected cells so that no regions of the same shape share an edge, counting rotations and reflections as the same. Clued cells must belong to a region with the pentomino shape associated with that letter. Borders must separate two different regions.
