#27 - Heyawake x2

Image
Rules:   Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Numbered regions must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. A line of consecutive unshaded cells may not cross more than one bold border. Solve the first online Solve the second online

#26 - Hotaru Beam

Image
  Rules:   For each circle in the grid, draw a path starting from its black dot, moving along the gridlines, and ending at a circle (including potentially the same one it started at), but not on the side containing another black dot. Paths may not cross themselves, each other, or pass through circles. A number in a circle represents how many turns the path exiting from its dot will make. All circles must be joined by paths to form one connected network. Solve it online

#25 - Chocona

Image
 Rules:   Shade some cells so that each orthogonally connected area of shaded cells is in the shape of a rectangle. Regions with numbers must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. Solve it online

#24 - Chocona

 Rules:   Shade some cells so that each orthogonally connected area of shaded cells is in the shape of a rectangle. Regions with numbers must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. Solve it online

#23 - Moon or Star (2★)

Image
 Rules: Place stars into some empty cells such that each row, column, and outlined region contains exactly 2 stars. Stars may not touch one another, not even diagonally. Additionally, draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells which passes through each region exactly once. Within a region, the loop must pass through all moons and no stars, or all stars and no moons. The loop may not pass through the same type of clue in two consecutively used regions. Solve it online

#20 - Cross the Streams

Image
 Rules:   Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded. Clues outside the grid represent the lengths of the blocks of consecutive shaded cells in the corresponding row or column, in order. A question mark represents one block of an unknown number of cells. An asterisk represents any number of blocks of shaded cells, including none at all. Solve it online

#19 - Tetrochain

Image
 Rules:   Shade some tetrominoes of cells such that no two tetrominoes touch each other orthogonally, but all tetrominoes form one diagonally connected network. Two tetrominoes of the same shape may not touch diagonally, counting rotations and reflections as the same. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the number of shaded cells in a straight line in the indicated direction. Solve it online

#18 - Yajilin (Regions)

Image
 Rules:   Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of all the remaining cells. Numbered regions must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. Solve it online
