Instruction:
Shade some cells black so that all remaining cells are connected orthogonally and no two black cells share an edge. The grid is divided into regions by thick borders; a number in a region indicates exactly how many cells in that region must be shaded black. Every "word" in the grid (a group of unblackened cells connected to each other either only horizontally or only vertically) may not cross more than one thick border.
