The Tapa puzzle is from Istanbul. It stands for Turkish Art PAint and is a fascinating logic puzzle invented by the Turkish puzzle master Serkan Yürekli.

With the claasic rules of a Tapa puzzle, the challenge is to color certain cells black in order to create a continuous path. We present the grid here as a lawn in which garden tiles are placed.

• A number describes the number of consecutive garden tiles lying horizontally, vertically or diagonally around this grass zone.
• If there is more than one number in a grass area, a cell of grass should be placed between the groups of garden tiles.
• All garden tiles must be connected horizontally or vertically.
• The garden tiles may not form a 2x2 square anywhere.
• As with all logic puzzles, there is only one unique solution.
