Puzzlandia
You have discovered the isle of Puzzlandia! Scouts report regions of desert, grassland, hills, and forest. Each type of region appears twice, and all eight regions are each a different size. Similar terrain that is only connected diagonally is not part of the same region. Can you map out the island?

The isle of Puzzlandia is quite small and every region of terrain is a different size. If all regions are as small as possible, how much leftover space do you have?Part of the 2024 Confounding Calendar at https://confoundingcalendar.itch.io/

Nice and fun logical puzzle, also the design is soothing. Thanks!
That was really concise and cute!
I like how sand sometimes has cacti.
Beautiful little design.
Lovely!
great presentation, pleasant deductions!! and i love how you worded the hint.
nice little logical puzzle
Loved it very much! Short, beautiful and fun to solve :)
very cute and satisfying! love the theme :)
Very sweet paper puzzle genre.
Very cute!
For anyone trying to get their friends more into thinky puzzles, this would be a great “gateway puzzle” for them 😄
There is a "you win" screen or i did something wrong?

There is indeed a win screen. You have red and yellow regions that are each 4 tiles big, as well as brown and green regions that are each 5 tiles big. Every region has to be a different size (as measured by number of tiles).
i misread shape for size and now i feel dumb, thanks
very fun & super cute :) I look forward to your entries every year!
Thanks! And thank you (and beekie) for organizing the Confounding Calendar again! I always look forward to a month of wonderful little puzzles each year. :-)
I solved this in like, less than a minute after i started filling it in.
too easy.
I really think there is too much subliminal messaging. the 1 by one in the top left and symmetry in the top right are just too tempting, and lead to an easy solve if you intuitively try to minimize distance (while none of the rules necessarily lead to that intuition, it is generally a good idea for connection puzzles)
I know that the puzzles are generally easier this year (because of the "ONE LEVEL" clarification), which is good, it is more applicable for an advent calendar, but they usually still have some trick somewhere, like in the top-left of stick-stack. it's often only that one trick that's needed to solve the puzzle, but it's usually there. this one has the opposite of that, something that makes it easier.
Neat little puzzle, lovely use of the palette :)
Very satisfying little puzzle, always nice to play with geometry and constraints like this
niiiiice
This was great. Feels like something I would have had in a book of puzzles as a kid (and probably erased right through). One request is I would like if you left the map up on the win screen so I can look back at my solution.
Thanks! Also, if you tap or click after winning, you can see your solution again. At least, it's supposed to work that way. :-)
...I had just failed to try that. And I call myself a puzzler.
Anyway, awesome game.
reminds me of a time when I failed to notice an abstract puzzle game (also on this calendar, but in a previous year) had click and drag to interact.
I like how, logically, this came together.
