#068: Loom
10 December 2022One day I will come up with a genre that doesn’t involve drawing loops or paths. But today is not that day. Here is a new loop genre I came up with when considering what Nurikabe clues would mean for loops.
There have in fact been several puzzles using a “Nurikabe-Like Loop” ruleset, notably Ludicrous Loop, but I arrived at a different interpretation with this genre.
Solve it online:
Rules: Draw a loop through some vertices. The loop may cross itself perpendicularly but cannot otherwise touch itself. Each region that is completed enclosed by loop segments contains exactly one number clue, indicating the number of cells in the region.
