Notice the feedback
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Draw one closed loop whose edges match the count around every numbered cell. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Start with a deliberate move.
Step by step
- 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.
Controls
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
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. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
Several small loops are invalid even if clues match. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
