This is a “Twisted Tuesday” puzzle variation.
Theme: Mostly themeless, besides the variation itself.

Answer String: For each cell in the marked rows/columns, enter the area of the polyomino it belongs to. Start with the 5th row, followed by a comma, followed by the 8th row.
Time Standards (highlight to view): Grandmaster = 2:30, Master = 3:15, Expert = 6:30
