Something to practise
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Make the next step deliberately.
The purpose of your moves
Draw one closed loop whose edges match the count around every numbered cell. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Making your moves
- 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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Work through an example
A 0 cell has no loop edge around it; a 3 has exactly three. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
A useful caution
Several small loops are invalid even if clues match. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
