Method 5, still keeping the same reasoning as my post in Loop without All Cells. I/O for Inside or Outside; row 1 would be OIOOIO.

In principle, I like this method. But for a bigger grid, it would mean lot of typing. So I would like to suggest to compress the answer key to 11211 (ah, not compressed much in this case, but in general it should be). For Column 4, the answer key will be 312 instead of OOOIOO.

It also gets rid of any "English" letters. It can easily be applied to other types e.g. Tapa, Fillomino as well.

ETA : If you are worried about LMI submission engine not being able detect variable length answer keys, we should be able to upgrade the engine to check "sum of digits" to be same as "size of the grid" in this case.
