Hello! I have chosen to keep today's genre name secret. It wished to remain anyminous.

Only joking. It's an Anymino!

Rules:
- Shade some cells on the board to form shapes.
- All regions contain exactly one shape, which is an orthogonally connected group of shaded cells.
- Two identical shapes cannot share an edge, counting rotations and reflections as the same.
- Every shape must be orthogonally adjacent to at least one other shape of the same size.
- The shaded cells cannot form a 2x2 square.
- All shaded cells form an orthogonally contiguous area.

This genre comes with an important GAPP 101 - I would highly recommend taking a look if you're having difficulty getting started. There cannot be any shapes of size 1 or 2, because it would be impossible to touch another shape of the same size but different shape.
