Four-Color Pentominous #02
(Published on 5. May 2024, 01:37 by Nell Gwyn)
RULES:
- Divide the grid fully up into pentominoes (orthogonally-connected regions of five cells each).
- Each pentomino must be one of four colors: red, blue, green, or yellow (a colorblind-friendly version is also provided, which replaces the colors with the digits 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively).
- No two pentominoes of the same shape (including rotations and reflections) or the same color (or both) can share an edge.
- A letter clue in a cell indicates the shape of the pentomino that cell is part of (see the example image for a list of pentomino shapes; the shape may be rotated or reflected as needed). A pentomino may have multiple clues.
Solution code: The second row, left to right, with "1" meaning Red, "2" meaning Blue, "3" meaning Green, and "4" meaning Yellow (e.g. 112134144444223).

Really fun! I like how it starts off clearly and gradually gets a bit trickier. I can't explain why, but I spent a good 15 minutes confusing P and U and wondering why I was breaking the puzzle xD

Ich dachte erst, dass alle Pentominos der gleichen Form auch die gleiche Farbe haben müssen. Das geht aber schnell nicht auf. Schönes Rätsel.

Clarified in the rules that a pentomino may have multiple clues.

Nice hybrid, thanks! Starts of easy but the ending is a lot trickier.
