Oops guess who forgot again and has to go to work soon. Anticipating that this will happen again tomorrow, I'll do a much larger post about this on Day 5, as I'll have a day off then. Regardless, today's genre is Cocktail Lamp!

cocktail lamp rulesShade some cells such that all shaded cells within a region form a single orthogonally connected group. Shaded groups may not be orthogonally adjacent, but must all form a single diagonally connected network. Regions with numbers must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded.

I think I'm going to stay with this style for the month. Small puzzles without any crazy hard deductions, but still with a few tricks here and there. My Day 1 got seen by a lot more than I was expecting, and I'd like to keep having these puzzles be approachable to a larger audience!

As always, here is the solving link

really awesome puzzle!! at first, i assumed this was just a different name for heyawake, which i had played before, but the slight differences actually ended up making me like this puzzle a lot more than i like those! 😅 thanks for sharing!!
