** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
Well this has made us feel a bit silly. Simon read the rules to this one early this afternoon and was worried they might be a bit too much for newcomers to pencil puzzles (which our Saturday series is aimed at). One of our testers (thank you E.!) insisted we needed to try this one... and she was absolutely right - it's absolutely epic. It's called Twilight Cave Fillomino and it's by Agent. If you do find the rules complicated check out the example grid in the video introduction - it helped Simon understand what's going on.

Play the puzzle at the link below:

https://sudokupad.app/p636wzk7e0

Rules:
Fillomino: Divide the grid into orthogonally connected regions such that no two regions of the same size share an edge, and enter a number into each cell equal to the size of its region.
Cave: Shade some cells in the grid such that all unshaded cells are orthogonally connected, and all shaded cells are orthogonally connected by other shaded cells to an edge of the grid.
Each region must either be entirely shaded or entirely unshaded. If a clued cell is unshaded, the clue indicates the sum of numbers seen orthogonally from that cell; region borders block vision. If a clued cell is shaded, the clue indicates the total sum of numbers in its group of orthogonally connected shaded cells (which could include more than one region).
