I hadn’t heard of cave (or bag, or corral) puzzles before. Does anyone know of an online puzzle site for them? I’ve played many a sudoku or paint-by-numbers online, but a quick Google search for online cave puzzles doesn’t turn up anything.

I was thinking the same thing. Looks like fun!
What are the “A B C D” markings there for, though?

Yes, this please.

Those mark the segments for which you give the segment lengths as answer / solution, if I read the explanation at Cave Rules and Info - The Art of Puzzles | The Art of Puzzles under ‘Answer string’ correctly.

Strangely enough, even though Nikoli is credited with creating the puzzles, I didn’t see any Cave/Bag/Corral puzzles on that site.

So you are saying that members can see more than the 16 puzzle types listed on that site?
Nurikabe is a different puzzle type than Cave/Bag/Corral puzzles. In Nurikabe, each clue tells you the size of the “islands”, while in Cave, each clue tells the number of cells the clue can “see”.

Yes, thanks. I like video, but can’t get sound at work, and the guy flipping his pencil didn’t tell me anything.
