- Count the four edges around each cell.
- Do not branch or form separate loops.
- Check puzzle verifies every clue and loop connectivity.
Getting comfortable with the controls
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. Check any mode label before starting.
Put the rules into context
A 0 cell has no loop edge around it; a 3 has exactly three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
Check this before moving on
Several small loops are invalid even if clues match. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
