Understand the basics of Slitherlink
Read the aim of Slitherlink, then make your first move. Draw one closed loop whose edges match the count around every numbered cell. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Ten 4×4 loop puzzles with all cell clues shown.
Give this approach a try
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.
Aim for this result
Draw one closed loop whose edges match the count around every numbered cell. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Check the rules when you are unsure.
The playing sequence
- 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.
How to use 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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Work through an example
A 0 cell has no loop edge around it; a 3 has exactly three. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Verify the rule before continuing.
A useful caution
Several small loops are invalid even if clues match. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
