** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
There are some constructors that can be absolutely relied upon for innovation and wit... ThePedallingPianist is one such creature! And he's come up with an absolutely fabulous way to celebrate our new Saturday Puzzle feature in the form of Fillominosaurus... a particularly green dinosaur with some interesting properties! Please give this a try if you have time, you won't regret it!!

Play the puzzle at the link below:
https://sudokupad.app/xpkfq77yk0

Rules:
Divide the Fillominosaurus into regions of orthogonally connected cells with a maximum size of 9 cells such that regions of the same size do not share a border, and fill every cell with a digit equal to the size of its region (ie the number of cells that region contains). A thick black line is a region border. Adjacent digits on a dark green line differ by EXACTLY 5. Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. The digit in the circle shows how many times it appears in that circle. The eight cells with teeth attached all contain different digits. (Please note that the teeth themselves are not part of the grid for the purpose of the Fillomino! It is the eight "gum" cells that must contain different digits!)


Thanks to all of you who have helped us achieve the milestone of 600,000 subscribers on YouTube. Below you can find a link to a free puzzle pack we have curated to celebrate :)
