About this board

Half the clues give no number. The small ones near the middle are the anchors: the tall 2, the wide pair on the left and the 3 beside it are fixed from the start, and a 6 runs the whole bottom row. Above them, two shape-only clues turn out to be big: a wide one that covers most of the top two rows, and a tall one down the right edge that is settled because anything else would strand a neighbour.
