Learn your way around Slitherlink
Start Slitherlink by looking at the playing area and its controls. Draw one closed loop whose edges match the count around every numbered cell. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Look at what changes after your first action.
Ten 4×4 loop puzzles with all cell clues shown.
Bring this focus to a round
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.
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. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Start here and follow along
- 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.
Keyboard and screen controls
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Use the control method described here for this activity. 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. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
Several small loops are invalid even if clues match. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
