Welcome to the ninth puzzle in this series! For more information about the series, see the first puzzle and the introduction. Enjoy!

This might not technically count as a 'sudoku', but some of the rules are the same so I've included it.

I guess the numbers don't get along well with themselves...

RULES:

• Fill in every box so each box contains the digits from 1 to n, where n is the number of cells in the box
  • So a box with 4 cells, must contain the digits 1, 2, 3 and 4
• The same digit cannot be orthogonally or diagonally adjacent.

I really like these and I don't know if they've been seen on the site before. I might make an extra large one (and perhaps even wackier!) if people like this!

Answer 1

I used the exact same logic for each picture here:

Placing a number in a given region because there is only one spot for it to go; all other cells in that region are either already taken or are adjacent to other copies of that number.

With that in mind, some pictures, in order. I mostly completed two regions per picture.

Step 1:

I started with the obvious single-cell region and placed a 1. I got a lot of more 1s.

Step 2:

Now the top-right area.

Step 3:

Now some lower-right areas.

Step 4:

Finishing up the right side and some bottom area.

Step 5:

Now working on the left side.

Step 6 (and the solution):

With the top we're done!

Not hard but quite enjoyable.
