Here’s a Snake (Large Cells)! I think it looks like a cookie 🍪 This is a variant from the 24 Hour Puzzle Championship, specifically Round 2 (which bakpao and two others wrote)! All of the puzzles from this year’s 24HPC are now available at https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1nQSFkfGqm4vuuK9aB7460b1aU3296jTG. I’ve now solved most of Rounds 1-3, plus Rounds 6 and 7 which I testsolved. The puzzles are great, would definitely recommend checking them out!

Rules: Shade some cells to form a non-intersecting path which does not touch itself, not even diagonally. Black circles must lie on one end of the path. A number outside the grid represents how many cells in the corresponding row or column are shaded. Large cells count as a single cell for number clues.
