Nurikabe (Snake) (885)
Instruction:
Shade some empty (non-numbered) cells black (leaving the other cells white) so that the grid is divided into non-overlapping regions; cells of the same color are considered in the same region if they are adjacent along edges. Each given number must be in a white region that has the same area in cells as that number. Each white region must have exactly one given number. All black cells must be in the same region. No 2×2 group of cells can be entirely shaded black.
Each white region must also be a valid “snake”: a path that starts in a cell, goes through some number of cells orthogonally, and ends in a cell. No 2×2 group of cells can be entirely white.
