  But first let’s cue up some inappropriate music

  Oh this is totally Grant-style. 😛

  Meanwhile, nice walkthrough. I think I solved the puzzle in the other way around then, starting with bottom-left and going counterclockwise.

  To clarify, this is the way I actually solved the puzzle on paper. I didn’t do any shading; I had no idea at the time that this was unorthodox! 🙂

    Well, I have to make the video sound really cool. But fundamentally you were solving a Fillomino as a loop puzzle so that is what I meant by unorthodox.

    With this variation, loop/vertex thinking is quite powerful, but many solvers may not have figured out this trick.

      Ah, so it’s unorthodox in the concept of Fillomino, rather than in the context of Checkered Fillomino. Got it. 🙂

  I like to solve regular Fillomino by drawing the borders rather than numbering cells, in Paint it’s much quicker that way. 😛

  Prasanna’s puzzle lent itself to that style very well, and I used similar logic to Grant’s.
