Cryptic Star Nurikabe+
(Published on 2. October 2021, 02:24 by BenceJoful)
- Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one connected area.
- No 2x2 region of cells may be entirely shaded.
- Each clue is unshaded, and represents the size of the unshaded area it is in. Clues are encrypted: each letter represents a different number.
- Each unshaded area contains exactly 1 clue and 3 stars, and each row and column contains 3 stars.
- Stars must be unshaded, and cannot touch each other (even diagonally) or overlap a clue.
Penpa+ link with solution check (using Surface for shading and Composite/Object/StarBattle)
Example (Penpa+ link):
Solution code: Along lines A and B: for each continuous set of shaded cells, put the length of the set. For a star, put *.
In the above example, the solution code is *6**111*2.
