The order of play
- Click an edge to draw, exclude or clear it.
- Count the four edges around each cell.
- Do not branch or form separate loops.
- Check puzzle verifies every clue and loop connectivity.
Using the playing area
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
A 0 cell has no loop edge around it; a 3 has exactly three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.
Notice this detail
Several small loops are invalid even if clues match. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
