One thing to notice as you play
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Notice the feedback after each input.
What you need to achieve
Draw one closed loop whose edges match the count around every numbered cell. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
How to proceed
- 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.
Making selections and moves
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A useful example
A 0 cell has no loop edge around it; a 3 has exactly three. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A common point of confusion
Several small loops are invalid even if clues match. Compare the situation with the worked example. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
