Standard Nurikabe rules: Shade some empty cells so that the grid is divided into unshaded areas, each containing exactly one number and with the same area in cells as that number. Two unshaded areas may only touch diagonally. All shaded cells must be connected with each other, but no 2×2 group of cells can be entirely shaded.

However, the size of each island has been encrypted. Each letter in this puzzle stands for a different positive integer, which must be determined while solving the puzzle. (Formatting note: space has been left in the cells for you to write the actual number values beneath each letter.)

For automatic solution checking, the shaded cells must be marked in black or a shade of gray.
