or solve online<\/a> (using our beta test of Penpa-Edit tools)<\/p>\n

Theme:<\/b> Logic<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> Hybrid of Nurikabe<\/a> and Sashigane<\/a>, originally created by Grant Fikes. Standard Nurikabe<\/a> rules are in place for the \u201cocean\u201d (connected and no 2×2 squares) but the island rules have changed as follows:
\n1. All islands must be L-shaped and one cell wide. Islands cannot share an edge.
\n2. An arrow clue points from an end of an island towards the bend in the middle.
\n3. A circle clue indicates the bend in the middle of an island; if a number is also present, this is the size of the island in cells.
\n4. An island can have 0, 1, or more of these clues given.<\/p>\n
