Ten 4×4 loop puzzles with all cell clues shown.
A focus for your next round
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Keep the objective visible.
The purpose of your moves
Draw one closed loop whose edges match the count around every numbered cell. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
How to proceed
- 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.
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. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Learn from a sample situation
A 0 cell has no loop edge around it; a 3 has exactly three. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.
An important reminder
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.
