Single Loop

Connect dots into a single closed loop. Each number counts how many sides of its cell the loop uses.

Tap a side to draw a line, tap again for X, once more to clear.

Tab to the board and move between dots with the arrow keys. Space switches the line pen on, X the X pen; then arrows mark sides. Press the same key again to put the pen down.

How to play

Join the dots to make one single closed loop. A number tells how many of that cell's four sides the loop uses. The loop never branches or crosses itself. Tap a side to cycle line, X (not used), then empty. Drag along sides to draw several at once.

Wherever the loop passes a dot, exactly two lines meet. So many sides are forced from numbers and dots together: a dot with two lines is finished, a dot with a dead end must continue. A side that would close the loop too early is not allowed while other lines or numbers remain.
