Just had to guess - any clues on how to even start this one? I manage the first 18 black squares but after that have no idea where to look.

@Rachel

After surrounding the 1s I started in the lower right.

There is not enough space either along the bottom or along the right side to fit the entire island from the lower right, so that island must go in both directions. The white squares from that island will start to show where the connecting black squares for the ones in that same corner must be.

From there I was able to work my way counter-clockwise around the grid as each island forced the next in sequence to go in a specific direction to meet the puzzle criteria.

Key

  • A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
  • Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
  • If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
  • Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
