Coastal Kropki

(Published on 15. April 2026, 16:00 by Blobz)

Normal sudoku rules apply.

Divide the grid into a number of islands -- orthogonally connected groups of cells. Every island contains a single circled cell; the digit in the circle indicates the number of cells making up the island.

The islands are surrounded by a waterway -- a single orthogonally connected group of cells. All caged cells are waterway cells; The digit in a caged cell indicates how many waterway cells are seen orthogonally from that position, including itself (island cells block vision). The waterway cannot form any 2x2 areas.

All dots separate an island cell and a waterway cell. Additionally, white dots separate consecutive digits; black dots separate digits where one is double the other.
