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.
