Every island holds exactly one number, which equals the number of its squares. Islands touch only diagonally.

All water squares connect through their sides into one stream, and no 2 × 2 block is entirely water.

Each grid has exactly one solution. Marked squares are water pools, or islands that are too big or hold two numbers.

Hint corrects a wrong mark or shades the next water square. Daily grids are the same for everyone on a UTC day.
