How to play

A loop-drawing puzzle. Draw a single continuous, non-crossing, non-branching loop along the grid lines so that every numbered cell has exactly that many of its four sides on the loop.

Rules

  • Click a space between two dots to draw a line there; click again for a ✕ (definitely no line), once more to clear it.
  • Every numbered cell must end up with exactly that many of its four sides drawn.
  • The finished lines must form one single loop — no branches, no crossings, no loose ends.
  • A dot with three or more lines, or a cell with too many, is shown in red.

Tips

Start from the 0s and the highest possible clue (3 on a normal board) — a 0 rules out all four of its sides immediately, and a 3 forces three of them in.
