Take a closer look while playing
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Notice the feedback after each input.
Understand the aim
Draw one closed loop whose edges match the count around every numbered cell. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
How a round unfolds
- 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. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
An example to follow
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. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
Several small loops are invalid even if clues match. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
