About this board

Big pieces make this a calm first 8x8. A 14 and a tall 10 are fixed from the start as two long columns, and the 8 on the left edge ends up running the full height of the board. The 12 settles into a 4x3 block in the top-right, which leaves a tall shape-only clue that has twenty-five options at first and ends up just two cells long.
