How to play Fence Regions

Draw fences along the grid lines so the whole grid is split into regions that each have the same number of squares — the size is shown with the puzzle (for example, regions of 4).

A number in a square says how many of its four sides are fences. The outer edge of the grid counts as a fence, so a 2 in a corner has no inner fences at all.

Regions can be any shape, as long as their squares join side by side.

How to play Fence Regions
