Tapa (Twilight) (1068)
Instruction:
Shade some empty cells black; cells with numbers can be shaded. All black cells connect along edges to create a single connected region. (It is permissible for the region to touch itself at a corner, but touching at a corner does not connect the region.) No 2×2 group of squares can be entirely shaded black.
Numbers in a unshaded cell indicate the lengths of contiguous black cell groups along the "ring" of 8 cells touching that cell (fewer for cells along the outside edge). If there is more than one number in a cell, then there must be at least one white (unshaded) cell between the black cell groups. The numbers are given in no particular order. As a special case, if the number given in a cell is a zero (0), it means that none of the cells around that cell can be shaded black.
Numbers in a shaded cell indicate the lengths of contiguous white cell groups around its "ring" in the same manner.
