What A PHENOMENAL Puzzle!
1,300*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
Back in 2019, John Bulten made a fillomino puzzle that is still resolating with solvers years later. It was most recently recommended to us by none other than Gliperal and, as one might expect, his verdict is proved correct. This is a PHENOMENAL puzzle, which first appeared on gmpuzzles.com, a wonderful place for handmade puzzles generally (link below).
Play the puzzle at the link below:
https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/bbpjHpN9JP
Or play in Penpa:
https://gmpuzzles.com/s/190119TDice
Rules:
Divide the grid into regions of orthogonally connected cells such that no two regions of the same size share an edge. Each cell should contain a number equal to the size of its region (ie the number of cells in its region.)
