Tapa Variations Contests

[yureklis]

In the TAPA LOGIC you wrote "digits from 0 to 8", but ACGILOPT are only 8 letters (and OAPC are only 4). Does this mean that no letter corresponds to a zero like in the example?
If zero is possible, how should a cell containing only zeros be handled? - Like an empty cell, so that the cell and all neighbors could be painted, or like a "number cell", so that neither the cell itself nor the 8 neighbors can be painted?

Yes, of course it is possible. In the example any letters not correspond to zero, but in the real puzzle there can be opposite, so a letter may correspond to zero.

In the Tapa rule: "...Number/s in a cell indicate the lenght of block cell blocks on its neigbouring cells". If a cell represent with zero, it means that there are no block cells in it neighbouring cells.

ACGILOPT, 8 letters, and 0-8 is 9 digits, so a number will be not represent with a letter, wont used in the puzzle.
