Here’s a Minesweeper (Shape)! I was tempted to write another word puzzle today (there’s a neat genre, Fill-In (Disguised Giants) on this weekend’s GP round, and many irregular grids in Riad’s April Contest on LMI). But instead, I went with a shading genre, which should be easier to input on mobile! 📲

Rules: Place mines into some empty cells so that each clue has the indicated number of mines in the (up to) six surrounding cells.

All groups of mines must form the given shape. No two shapes touch.

Note: Use shading to mark the mines!
