Slitherlink: instructions and practice
Bring your attention to one round of Slitherlink. Draw one closed loop whose edges match the count around every numbered cell. Look at what changes after your first action. Check the rule that explains your first action. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Ten 4×4 loop puzzles with all cell clues shown.
Something to practise
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.
What you need to achieve
Draw one closed loop whose edges match the count around every numbered cell. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Notice how the game responds to your input.
A walkthrough of the rules
- 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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Check any mode label before starting.
Try this example
A 0 cell has no loop edge around it; a 3 has exactly three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Several small loops are invalid even if clues match. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
