Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.
The goal to keep in mind
Draw one closed loop whose edges match the count around every numbered cell. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
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.
How to use the controls
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
See the idea in action
A 0 cell has no loop edge around it; a 3 has exactly three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.
One detail worth checking
Several small loops are invalid even if clues match. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
