Coded Math tapa - hard


Math tapa itself is an encoded form of tapa where the clues are results of mathematical operations on the individual digits.I am presenting a variant that encodes these results with letters.Same letters represent same numbers,and different letters represent different numbers.

Mochinyoro - medium



A nikoli type,and a cousin of nurikabe,mochinyoro is a very interesting puzzle.The constraint on black cells in particular,make it stand out.
Rules:Group the white cells into some rectangles,all connected to each other diagonally.No two orthogonally touching white cells can belong to different rectangles.Every rectangle contains at most one clue,which equals the area of the rectangle.Some rectangles may not contain a clue,which means the area can be any value.Black cells cannot form a rectangle.

Battleship tapa - Medium

I had presented a variant called Minesweeper tapa in a puzzle test.This one combines the battleship classic with tapa in a similar way.
Rules:Place all the ships of a standard fleet.Shipe cannot touch each other in any way,and should be placed in white cells only.Clue cells contain standard tapa clues.Cells containing ship segments cannot be blackened.A tapa clue cannot be a ship clue at the same time.
