\"Battleships<\/p>\n

PDF<\/a><\/p>\n

or solve online<\/a> (using our beta test of Penpa-Edit tools; use tab to shift between Battleships placement and line drawing modes.)<\/p>\n

This is a “Twisted Tuesday” puzzle variation.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Theme:<\/b> A Fleet of Clues <\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> Variation of Battleships<\/a> rules. Place the fleet of ships in the grid so that no ships touch each other, even diagonally. The grid contains internal clues (a number and an arrow) that show how many ship segments are in the indicated direction. All remaining cells containing neither a ship nor a clue must be able to form a single loop, as in a Yajilin puzzle (see for example here<\/a> but note the “black square rules” are replaced with battleships placement rules).<\/p>\n

Answer String:<\/b> For each row from top to bottom, enter the number of the first column from the left where a ship segment appears. If the row is empty, enter 0. Enter these numbers as a single string with no separators.<\/p>\n

Time Standards (highlight to view):<\/b> Grandmaster = 2:30, Master = 4:00, Expert = 8:00<\/span><\/p>\n
