Tapa Logic/en

Instructions

    

Tapa rules: Paint some cells black to create a continuous wall. Number/s in a cell indicate the length of black cell blocks on its neighbouring cells. If there is more than one number in a cell, there must be at least one white cell between the black cell blocks. Painted cells cannot form a 2x2 square or larger. There are no wall segments on cells containing numbers.

Tapa Logic: Each letter in “TAPA LOGIC” (OAPC for the example) is crypted with a digit from 0 to 8 (0 to 4 for the example). Same letters mean the same digit, different letters mean different digits.

Other Versions

Puzzle can be constructed with any letter set to be replaced by digits 0 to 8. One of the types is a puzzle based on the letters of NIKOLA ZIVANOVIC (Serbia), who is the winner of Tapa Variations Contests 2010.
