Tapa


Translate this site.

Tapa is a logic puzzle with a bit complicated rules and challenging solutions.

The rules are not so simple. :)
You have to make some of the cells black in such a way that they form a single polyomino (all blacks should be connected orthogonally in a single group).
2x2 black areas are not allowed.
The clues indicate the length of consecutive black blocks in the neighboring cells.
A single number in the clue means there is 1 black block, 2 numbers mean 2 blocks etc.
There must be at least 1 white cell between each 2 black blocks.
The blocks can appear in any order.

Left click on a square to make it black. Right click to mark with dot. Click and drag to mark more than one square.

This level used to serve boards that were easier than its difficulty label. Those boards have been replaced. The records set on them are still here, but now count with a 1.5x handicap, so they stay comparable with times set on the new boards instead of being deleted.
