Perplexible

This is the sibling to today’s Outside Nurikabe on the GMPuzzles blog. It’s harder, but shouldn’t be as bifurcation-heavy as the first one was.

Rules:

• Unlike in regular Nurikabe, the clue numbers have been placed outside the grid.
• A clue will appear in the first unshaded cell in its row/column, counting from the clue’s direction.
• Standard Nurikabe rules then apply:
  • Shade some cells to form a continuous wall that contains no 2×2 squares of shaded cells.
  • The clue numbers hint at connected groups of unshaded cells.
  • Every group has exactly one clue, which tells the group’s size.
