How to play
One continuous loop. No branches. No crossings.
Read each number
A clue tells you how many of its four surrounding sides are part of the loop.
Draw line segments
Connect neighboring dots to build the path.
Avoid branches and crossings
Every point in the completed loop connects to exactly two line segments.
Close one loop
The final solution must form one continuous closed path.
Each clue counts how many of its four sides join the loop:
- 0Clue 0: 0of this cell’s four sides are part of the loop.

- 2Clue 2: 2of this cell’s four sides are part of the loop.
