Hints: This is an Akari puzzle. Really!!!! The numbered clues that you'd expect from an Akari puzzle are... ...exclamation marks! Any square that contains an annoyed grunt (from bumping into something) should be treated as a "wall" for Akari purposes. The crossword-style clues do not overlap with the walls.
