Nice variation and puzzle.
wow… This one gave me a lot of trouble. For some reason I was finding it really difficult to separate the numbers from the actual area of the polyominoes I had already marked… For example if the clue said 2 and I had marked a tromino around it, I sometimes found myself not seeing it’s actual area when I was considering whether or not another tromino could be placed adjacent to it…
If I ever tackle another of these I think I’ll actually change the numbers to match the actual size of the polyominoes as I go. (adjusting the colour to separate truth from lie)
