Wichtel 2021 (9): Tapa-Doppelstern
(Published on 26. October 2022, 20:12 by wichtel)
To Christmas 2021 some eager puzzlefriends have again arranged a group in which everybody had to make anonymously a puzzle for someone else. These puzzles are now presented one after the other here in the portal.
Tapa: Shade some cells, such that all shaded cells form an orthogonally connected whole, and no 2x2 area is fully shaded. Clue cells must remain unshaded. The clues provide information about the connected shaded groups in the 8 cells surrounding the clue cell. Every digit stands for a group of the corresponding size, question marks stand for a group containing at least one cell, and there are no further groups.
Star Battle: Place stars into some unshaded cells, so that each row, each column, and each orthogonally connected group of unshaded cells contains exactly two stars. Cells with stars may not touch, not even diagonally. Cells with Tapa clues count as unshaded and may therefore also contain stars.

Solution code: 3rd and 5th row from left to right. S for stars, B for black cells, X otherwise.

„Nicht schwer“? Ich fand es ziemlich schwer :). Tolle Idee Tapa und Star Battle so zu kombinieren!
