Ten 4×4 loop puzzles with all cell clues shown.
Try a deliberate move
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
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.
Step by step
- 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.
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. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful example
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. Verify the rule before continuing.
Watch out for this
Several small loops are invalid even if clues match. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. 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.
