Are you missing Walker's GAPPs already? Well you're in luck, because LMI Puzzle Ramayan Round 2 is about to begin, with no less than 22 puzzles written by Walker! Needless to say, I highly recommend giving it a go.

The link to participate is here: https://logicmastersindia.com/live/?contest=PR202602. Heterocut is one of the many genres that will be appearing. And as always, attempting the contest will make you the proud owner of a bonus otter 🦦

Rules: Divide the grid into regions of orthogonally connected cells, each containing a number of cells within the range given outside the grid. No two regions may be the same size and shape, counting rotations and reflections as the same. Borders must separate two different regions, and an arrow on a border always points toward the larger of the two regions.

Here's a little GAPP 101: If you can determine the size of a region, it's very helpful to write the number down on the grid. See the example solution
