Congratulations to @atroposhears @Calesch @Nuujaka for guessing today would be a Number Rope and winning bonus otters! 🦦 🦦 🦦

It's another genre that appears in the final round of the Puzzle GP (https://gp.worldpuzzle.org/content/instruction-booklet-2) authored by Prasanna. Highly recommended! And an extra bonus 🦦 up for grabs if you give it a go!

Rules: Place a number from 1 to 9 into each white cell. No two orthogonally adjacent cells may contain the same number. Numbers along a rope must form a sequence of consecutive numbers, in order. A clue in a black cell indicates the sum of the numbers in the orthogonally adjacent white cells.

Interface Notes
- Dragging along a rope will place increasing numbers.
- For mobile solvers, I recommend enabling "input numbers by panel". You can input the smallest number on the rope, and drag to complete it!

Do check out the previous Number Ropes in GAPP:
