Thank you to everyone who wished me good luck in the Dutch championships after my last post! I had an awesome day and won both the sudoku tournament and the puzzle tournament! 🎉🥳

The puzzles from our championship are freely available at this link, feel free to give them a try! https://www.wcpn.nl/wcpn-nk-2026/

Today's GAPP is a Unique Marker, an Inaba genre that also featured in our championships!

Rules: Divide the grid into regions of four orthogonally connected cells, such that each region contains exactly one of the given dots entirely within its borders. Shaded cells are not part of any region.

Acquire a Speedy Sloth 🦥 by solving in 2:15 or less!
Obtain a Quick Crab 🦀 by solving in 4:30 or less!
All solvers who complete the puzzle will be rewarded with a Victorious Verdin 🐦!
