From the Foxger’s Den #26: Nurikabe
or solve online (using our beta test of Penpa-Edit tools)
Theme: 6 (according to the author, inspired by the Sesame Street song “My Favorite Number is 6” which might give a hint to a future puzzle?)
Rules: Standard Nurikabe rules.
Answer String: Enter the length in cells of each of the black segments (the unnumbered, connected “ocean”) from left to right for the marked rows, starting at the top. Separate each row’s entry from the next with a comma.
Time Standards (highlight to view): Grandmaster = 1:00, Master = 1:30, Expert = 3:00
Solution: PDF
Nice use of the lopsided layout to force interesting use of “reach” on the right and “tight packing” on the left.
00:52. Nice puzzle. I have Jack Bross’s comment and nothing else, so I won’t reiterate.
