  • Draw lines along the edges of cells to divide the grid into separate 3-handed 1-headed creatures.

  • Each creature is defined as a shape of 4 connected limbs. Each limb is 1 cell wide, can be of any cell length (but more than 0) and can take a turn at any point.

  • Each limb must have a separate end. One limb must end with a head (always clued) and other 3 limbs end up with hands (whenever clued, their directions matter).

  • Cells within a single creature can never form a loop - in other words, the creature must never contain a 2x2 region or touch itself.

FILLIMBS (LIMBS + FILLOMINO)

These puzzles use rules by both Limbs and Fillomino.

FILLOMINO

  • Draw lines along the edges of cells to divide the grid into regions, so that no two regions with the same area share an edge.

  • Inside some cells are numbers; each number must represent the area of the region it belongs to. A region may contain zero, one, or more of the given numbers.

LIMBS + FILLOMINO

  • A creature of Limbs is the same as a region of Fillomino.
