Ayeheya Galaxy
(Published on 17. February 2026, 04:07 by mathpesto)
Rules:
Galaxy: Divide the grid into galaxies (regions of orthogonally connected cells). Each galaxy contains exactly one circle and has 180° symmetry around the circle.
Ayeheya: Shade some cells in the grid such that shaded cells cannot be orthogonally adjacent and all unshaded cells form an orthogonally connected area. Shaded cells within a galaxy have 180° symmetry around the circle. A horizontal or vertical line of unshaded cells cannot span across more than one galaxy border.
Arrows: A cell containing an arrow is in a galaxy made up of n total cells. The arrow points directly to a cell in a galaxy containing n shaded cells. (For example, if R2C4 is in a six-cell galaxy, then R1C3 is in a galaxy with six shaded cells.)
Solve online:
Solution code: Amount of shaded cells in Column 1, then Column 2, then Column 3 (three numbers).

Extremely fun combo. Makes me realize I should solve/try to set more galaxy puzzles. The symmetry is very pleasant
