15. Mysterious Pink Lines

To those who are trying to solve all my puzzles in order — I hope you had fun with the 10x1,200 look-air. If you're into variant sudoku, you'll probably like this next puzzle. Also, should I call this a "KenKen" or "TomTom"? Oh well, I'll just put both in the labels. Creator's time:  3:32.3 Rules:   Standard KenKen/TomTom Rules \ Place a number from 1 to N in each cell, where N represents the side length of the grid. You can’t repeat any numbers in the same row/column. The heavy lines indicate cages that contain groups of numbers that can be combined (in any order) to produce the target number shown in the cage, with the indicated operation. Variant: Renban Lines \ Numbers on a pink line must not repeat and must form a consecutive sequence in any order. Difficulty:  5/14 Online interface (Penpa+)

14. Winds of Aeolus

10x1,200 Look-Air. Enjoy! Creator's time:  121:20 (2:01:20) Rules:   Standard Look-Air Rules \ Shade some cells so that each orthogonally connected area of shaded cells is in the shape of a square. Clues represent how many of the five cells forming a cross around the clue (including itself) are shaded. Two shaded squares of the same size may not have a vertical or horizontal line of unshaded cells between them, unobstructed. Difficulty:  11/14 Tall version (puzz.link)  \  Long version (puzz.link)

13. Duplication

The numbers on the thumbnails are based on the order in which I post these puzzles to the CTC discord. I'll add difficulty here soon. Maybe. Rules :  Standard FiveCells Rules \ Divide the grid into regions of 5 orthogonally connected cells. Clued cells must have the indicated number of region borders or grid borders surrounding them.

12. Your Average Easy Nurikabe

Wow, I'm behind on here... Anyways, here's the beginning of my Phase II thumbnails. Rules :  Standard Nurikabe Rules \ Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area and no 2x2 region is entirely shaded. Clues cannot be shaded, and every orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells contains exactly one clue, the value of which represents the size of the area.
