Thought I had 14 solutions, until I realized I was trying to put a second shape in one of the sprawly regions.
Yep, same here.
Me three! I wonder if that was intended by the puzzle’s author, to get people stuck on that place.
I just noticed on an archive binge that this puzzle is the same as the one published here: https://www.gmpuzzles.com/blog/2017/05/lits-grant-fikes-2/
Thanks for catching this — it looks like our puzzle archive system failed to mark this as used, so our solvers got to experience it twice.
