Eric Fox's Puzzles

      In celebration of Canal View being implemented in puzz.link, here's a themed puzzle!      Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the number of shaded cells connected in a straight line horizontally or vertically to the clue. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded. Solve online

       Shade some cells to form a non-intersecting path which does not touch itself orthogonally. Circles mark the ends of the path.  Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the number of shaded cells connected in a straight line horizontally or vertically to the clue.  Exactly one orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells must exist of each size from the range given outside the grid.

       Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area.  No 2x2 area may be entirely shaded.     Canal View (Left and right):     Clues inside the grid cannot be shaded, and represent the number of shaded cells connected in a straight line horizontally or vertically to the clue.     LITS (Middle):    Each of the six regions in the middle part of the grid must contain one tetromino of shaded cells.  Two of these tetrominoes of the same shape may not share a bold border, counting rotations and reflections as the same.     Cross the Streams (Whole grid):      Clues outside the grid represent the lengths of the blocks of consecutive shaded cells in the corresponding row or column, in order. A question mark represents one block of an unknown number of cells. An asterisk represents any number of blocks of shaded cells, including none at all. Solve online

       Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area, no 2x2 region is entirely shaded, and the other rules of each genre are met:     LITS (Top left):     Each region must contain exactly four orthogonally connected cells, forming tetrominoes. Two tetrominoes of the same shape may not share a bold border, counting rotations and reflections as the same.     Tapa (Top right):      Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the lengths of the blocks of consecutive shaded cells in the (up to) eight cells surrounding the clue.     Canal View (Bottom left):      Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the number of shaded cells connected in a straight line horizontally or vertically to the clue.     Irunuri (Bottom right):      Numbered regions must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. The shaded cells within a region m...
