       Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Regions with numbers must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. There may not exist a run of more than three consecutive shaded or unshaded cells horizontally or vertically anywhere in the grid. Solve online

       Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Numbered regions must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. A line of consecutive unshaded cells may not cross more than one bold border. Solve online

       Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Clues cannot be shaded, and every orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells contains exactly one clue, the value of which represents the size of the area. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded. Solve online

     Tapa (Left):      S hade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the lengths of the blocks of consecutive shaded cells in the (up to) eight cells surrounding the clue. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded.      Nurikabe (Right):      Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Clues cannot be shaded, and every orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells contains exactly one clue, the value of which represents the size of the area. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded.

     Happy New Year!      Place lights in some cells so that every cell is illuminated. Lights illuminate the cell they’re in as well as all cells seen in a straight line horizontally or vertically, not obstructed by a black cell. Lights may not illuminate each other. Clues represent the number of lights in the (up to) four cells surrounding the clue. Solve online

      These puzzles are from a puzzle pack created by me and Shye .      Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Numbered regions must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. A line of consecutive unshaded cells may not cross more than one bold border. #1 by Shye Solve online #2 by Eric Solve online #3 by Shye Solve online #4 by Eric Solve online #5 by Shye Solve online #6 by Eric Solve online #7 by Shye Solve online #8 by Eric Solve online #9 by Shye Solve online #10 by Eric Solve online #11 by Shye Solve online #12 by Eric Solve online #13 by Shye Solve online #14 by Eric Solve online #15 by Shye Solve online #16 by Eric Solve online #17 by Shye Solve online #18 by Eric Solve online #19 by Shye Solve online #20 by Eric Solve online #21 by Shye Solve online #22 by Eric Solve online #23 by Shye Solve online #24 by Eric Solve online #25 by Shye Solve online #26 by Eric Solve onlin

      Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells so that the rules of each genre are met.     Masyu (Top left):      The loop must pass through each circle. The loop must turn on black circles and travel straight through the cells on either side. The loop must go straight through white circles, and turn in at least one of the cells on either side.     Ovotovata (Top right):      The loop must visit each shaded region at least once. When the loop exits a clued region in any direction, it must travel in a straight line for exactly the indicated number of cells (turning on the Nth cell, where N is the value of the clue). A question mark can represent any positive integer.     Yajilin (Bottom left):      The loop may not pass through clued cells. No two empty cells within the bottom left quadrant may share an edge. Clues represent the number of empty cells in a straight line in the indicated direction within the bottom left quadrant.     Tapa-Like Loop (Bottom right):

       Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the lengths of the blocks of consecutive shaded cells in the (up to) eight cells surrounding the clue. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded. Solve online

     Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Clues cannot be shaded, and every orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells contains exactly one clue, the value of which represents the size of the area. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded. Cells in the same position in corresponding windows must have the opposite shading.      In this puzzle, a question mark can represent any positive integer. Solve online

       Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells that passes through every circle. The loop must turn on black circles and travel straight through the cells on either side. The loop must go straight through white circles, and turn in at least one of the cells on either side. Solve online

       Divide the grid into regions of orthogonally connected cells. Two regions of the same size may not share an edge. Clued cells must belong to a region containing the indicated number of cells. Solve online

       Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Numbered regions must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. A line of consecutive unshaded cells may not cross more than one bold border. Solve online

       Place lights in some cells so that every cell is illuminated. Lights illuminate the cell they’re in as well as all cells seen in a straight line horizontally or vertically, not obstructed by a black cell. Lights may not illuminate each other. Each black cell is assigned a number, which represents how many lights are in the (up to) four surrounding cells. All pairs of orthogonally adjacent black cells assigned a number that's double the other are marked with a black dot. All pairs of orthogonally adjacent black cells assigned consecutive numbers are marked with a white dot. A 1 next to a 2 may be marked with either dot. Solve online

       Divide the grid into regions of orthogonally connected cells. Two regions of the same size may not share an edge. Clued cells must belong to a region containing the indicated number of cells. No region may contain a line of more than three consecutive cells horizontally or vertically. Solve online
