Puzzle 306: Myopa

This is a new Tapa variation. Rules:Shade some cells following regular tapa rules. Arrows indicate all the directions where the closest shaded cell is located. Cell containing arrows may be shaded As long as it does not contain any tapa clues.

Puzzle 305: Not Alone Fillomino

This is a new Fillomino variation.
Rules: Divide the grid along the gridlines into some regions, and fill each of the empty cells with a number. When two cells containing the same number touch along an edge, they may not belong to different regions. Given numbers represent the area of the region they belong to. A region may contain none, or one or more of the givens. None of the hidden regions can be alone. In other words, every hidden region has to be adjacent with at least one other hidden region.

Puzzle 304: Japanese cave

Rules: paint some cells to form a single connected region, the cave. Numbers indicate lengths of all blocks of painted cells in that order, in corresponding row/column. All unpainted cells should be able to reach the edge of the grid through other unpainted cells.

Puzzle 303: Pentaxe

This is a new type of plane division puzzle.
Rules: Using no more than two different pentomino shapes, cut the grid along the gridlines, without leaving out any cell. Pentominoes may be rotated/reflected.

Puzzle 302: Cornered

This is a new type of plane Division puzzle.
Rules: Divide the gird into rectangles of side atleast 2 units, and one cell clipped off one of the four corners, such that every rectangle encloses one X and one Y. No two rectangles may be identical.

Puzzle 301: Anti-surround Masyu

Rules: Follow regular masyu rules. In addition to that, not all of the cells around(Upto eight surrounding cells) any circle may be visited by the loop.

Puzzle 300: Not Alone Loop

This is a new type, and the first puzzle of this type.
Rules: Draw a single closed loop that passes through every cell horizontally or vertically, and does not cross itself. The loop must make a 90 degree turn in every circle. No two circles of the same colour may sandwich a circle of the opposite color. in other words, the loop may not visit two white/black circles immediately before and after visiting a black/white circle.

Puzzle 299: Cipher heterocut

Rules: Divide the grid along the gridlines into regions of Sizes in the given range. Some of the cell borders contain a dot of one of three colours. When there is a dot between two cells, it indicates that the difference between the sizes of the regions occupying the cells on either side of the dot, is either 0,1, or 2, depending on what that colour corresponds to. The cells on either side of a dot always belong to different regions. No two regions may be identical, regardless of rotation/reflections.

Puzzle 298: Abstract Tapa

This is a new tapa variation. This variation is inherently less constrained and offers quite a few interesting clue interactions.
Rules: Paint some cells to create a continuous wall of connected cells. Every clue cell contains two numbers, one of which indicates that there is atleast one painted cell block of that size, surrounding it. The second number gives the same information about unpainted cells surrounding the clue cell. Clue cells are considered as unpainted. Painted cells cannot form a 2x2 group anywhere in the grid.

Puzzle 297: Superfluous Tapa

This is a very interesting new variation on tapa.
Rules: Shade some cells obeying regular tapA's rules. in addition to that, every shaded cell that does not directly contribute to a tapa clue( is not adjacent to any clue in any way) has to be adjacent to atleast one other shaded cell of the same type.

Puzzle 296: Pentomino Kurotto

This is a new variation using pentominoes.
Rules: Place some pentominoes, not more than once each. Pentominoes may be rotated and reflected. Pentominoes cannot touch each other, not even diagonally, and cannot occupy numbered cells. Numbers indicate how many pentominoes are edge-adjacent to the cell containing the number.

Puzzle 295: Pentomino Gates

A new pentomino variation.
 Rules: Letters are written in some cells. Place n different pentomino shapes in some of the white cells( n is given next to the puzzle), without overlapping, so that the remaining cells are divided into some regions. Two regions may touch only diagonally, so do the pentominoes . Every region must contain at least one letter, and all letters in a region must be identical. Pentominoes may be rotated/reflected. Not all occurrences of a letter are required to be in the same region.

Puzzle 294: Oasis Tapa

This is a new tapa type. To solve this puzzle, follow regular tapa rules, and additionally, any islands ( groups of connected unshaded cells) created by the wall must contain at least one circle. Cells with Circles may be shaded. Clue cells are considered as unshaded cells
