This is a Palisade (or n-Cells) puzzle. The guidelines are:

  • Thicken a few of the squares’ sides so the thick borders define cells. One such cell includes only one sq.; one cell includes exactly two squares; one cell includes three squares; and so forth as much as a ten-square cell.
  • Any sq. with a quantity in it signifies what number of of its sides are thickened. Note that if the sq. is alongside a facet of your complete diagram, then that facet counts as one of many thickened sides.
  • Thickened sides can be utilized solely as components of cell outlines: no thickened facet can have each of its sides in the identical cell.

Note that that is among the many simpler Palisade puzzles. I do not suggest it when you’re skilled with the style and searching for a problem.

Step 1:

First, draw all the plain non-borders.
Step 1

Step 2:

There is an space that should be not less than 10 cells; this should be the 10-cell space. Bordering it off traps a 1-cell space. Now no different areas could be 1-cell, so we will draw some non-border traces.
Step 2

Step 3:

The 9-cell space has been recognized. Drawing its borders threatens to entice some 1-cell areas, so extra non-border traces could be drawn. Also, just a few 2 clues have been happy, to allow them to have extra non-border traces drawn.
Step 3

Step 4:

That space within the backside left nook should be not less than 8-cell; it already has 7 cells and its unhappy 2 clue (R5C5) should have yet one more non-border line, so one other cell will join. Therefore no different areas could be 8-cell. The 7-cell and 6-cell areas are pressured on the highest.
Step 4

Step 5:

The 5-cell and 4-cell areas are pressured.
Step 5

Step 6:

The bottom-left space’s final 2 (R5C5) cannot hook up with the appropriate any extra, as that may make a 9-area. Therefore we will resolve it and end its space.
Step 6

Step 7/resolution:

The 2 clue in R5C6 already has 2 borders and so should have a non-border line up. This forces it to be a part of a 3-cell space, which forces the 2-cell space, and the puzzle is solved.
Step 7
