Previous level: Massive NuriKolor (Level 5) (Red-Fury)
Next level: Nurikolor (Level 7)

We now have Tapa involved in the Nurikolor puzzle, and this is the 6th one (if you include a spinoff.)

  • There are colored numbers on the grid, which indicate the number of tiles the group of its color holds.
  • There are tiles with 1 color, which indicate the color of the tile.
  • There are tiles with 2 or more colors, which indicate intersections of colors. All intersections are shown, and these are the only intersections.
  • Grey tiles are not part of any group; they just serve as barriers.
  • The goal is to have every non-grey tile covered by a type of color.
  • 2 by 2 non-grey squares of the same color are illegal.
  • In future levels, there will be multiple numbers of the same color. Their groups must never intersect or be orthogonally adjacent to each other.
  • There will be colored lines in certain places. The same-color group may not cross through the colored lines, although they must border the line.
  • There may be intersections that aren't fully colored. It is also your job to color it.
  • NEW: There are now "X"s on the board. This means the colored group cannot go into a "X" of the same color.
  • SPECIAL: Tapa rules can also apply here, and all clues are on the gray squares.

Rules of Tapa:
Color black cells to create a single connected wall. Numbers in a cell indicate the length of consecutive shaded blocks of the same color in the neighboring cells. If there is more than one number in a cell, then there must be at least one different-colored cell between the colored cell groups. The shaded cells cannot form a 2×2 square anywhere in the grid.

Step-by-step logical path until puzzle break

enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here Tapa deductions get us up to here.
enter image description here Pink region fills to become size 13 enter image description here Yellow region continues like this (currently size 14) enter image description here Orange escapes like this enter image description here Then red and yellow (yellow size 16) enter image description here Let's do the red 6 now enter image description here And the blue 12 enter image description here Fill the last tapa enter image description here Fill out orange enter image description here This is the last image

There are a couple of ambiguities and errors at this point.

  1. Purple region is currently size 12. It can extend to 14 with filling one intersection, and 16 with both intersections. This could be fixed if purple was 16.
  2. Yellow could connect either way. Either way the last square is unaccounted for in terms of color. This could be fixed if, say, the light blue 7 region was an 8.
