hutt's puzzle dump

 I discovered this genre on Puzzle Square JP and found it to be a relatively smooth yet rewarding solve for a relatively obscure puzzle type. When the Dash Spider memes went viral, I decided to try my hand at a themed puzzle and considered this type to work well for it. https://puzz.link/p?makaro/10/8/vqjhunfutpvivjglntvjlbqvlvqvlhegcaickandaoakbiajaaiajaanaakbh

I found it a bit difficult to get into setting because combinations of all the constraints occasionally made the puzzle impossible but not in an immediately obvious way. (Also, serendipitously, random 8 found that this puzzle grid is also unique if the area is 5 instead of 4.)

 made on 1/7/24 Indexed Rectangles was invented by heybud: - Divide the grid into rectangular regions - Orthogonally adjacent regions must not be congruent - Cells with ratios provide the height/width ratio of their regions By convention, the larger digit in each ratio always comes first. Variant rules have been attached in the picture below.
