Picking an interesting genre and grid combination for Strange Shape Sunday is always one of the most challenging things for me when writing for GAPP. I once again spent more time looking at blank penpa grids and genre lists than actually writing a puzzle yesterday. I landed on a fairly simple combination this time - hopefully you enjoy! Enjoy your Sunday!

Today's GAPP is a Light & Shadow on a snub square grid!

Rules: Shade some cells so that each orthogonally connected area of only shaded or only unshaded cells contains exactly one clue. Some clued cells are given as shaded, and unshaded clues may not be shaded. A clue represents the size of the area of shaded or unshaded cells that the clue belongs to.
