Practice beyond the first move

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. Refer to the controls when needed.

Aim for this result

Draw one closed loop whose edges match the count around every numbered cell. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.

The steps to play

  1. Click an edge to draw, exclude or clear it.
  2. Count the four edges around each cell.
  3. Do not branch or form separate loops.
  4. Check puzzle verifies every clue and loop connectivity.

Choosing and moving on screen

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.

Put the rules into context

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. Notice the change in the playing area.

Avoid this misunderstanding

Several small loops are invalid even if clues match. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
