Polytapa and more..


These four new variations are all based on polyomino tiling, so i chose to group them together in one post.

Polytapa:The tapa wall should be tiled exactly by non-overlapping dominos and triminos .Pieces of the same size cannot touch each other,except diagonally.

Tapa fragments : Use only the given fragments (polyominos),any number of times each,without overlapping, to build the wall.Some clues have letter/s written.Clues which have one or more letters,must be orthogonally adjacent to atleast one fragment of the corresponding shape.Fragements can be rotated/reflected.The example here uses four pentominos

Anuraag's tapa:Locate some polyominos by writing numbers equal to the area of the polyomino.The polyominos should form a single tapa wall without forming 2x2 squares.Two equal-sized polyminos cannot be edge-adjacent with each other.Number/s in a cell indicate/s sum of all numbers(of the same polyomino) touching the cell .The clue will contain multiple numbers for multiple polyminos touching the clue cell.

Tapa in Squares: Follow regular tapa rules.Shaded cells must be tiled by non-overlapping squares 2x2 or larger only.The no 2x2 rule is dropped.
