Easy as LITS

Easy as LITS 1

It’s a mashup of Easy as ABC and regionless LITS.

Standard regionless LITS rules:

  • The shaded area must be continuous
  • There can’t be any 2×2 blocks of shaded cells
  • The shaded area must be tileable with LITS tetrominoes such that no two tetrominoes of same shape touch

Additionally:

  • No row or column may have two tetrominoes of the same shape in it
  • The clues along the edges tell the shape of the tetromino that is first seen in that column or row
  • (L and J tetrominoes and S and Z tetrominoes aren’t distinguished)
  • A bolded line between clue cells means the two cells can’t see the same tetromino
  • No line between clue cells means the two cells see the same tetromino
  • A dashed line between clue cells means the two cells may see the same tetromino, but not necessarily

Hopefully I was clear with the rules.

  • David Millar says:

    To clarify, do the clues with no line between them see the same exact tetromino, or possibly different tetrominos but still the same shape? (i.e. would two joined S clues be the same S tetromino or possibly two different S tetrominos?)
