How to play

Each number gives the number of selected edges around that cell. Every used vertex must have two edges. All selected edges must form one loop without branches or separate loops.

Use the feedback

Attempt an answer before looking at a hint or explanation. If it differs from the expected answer, compare the reasoning one step at a time. For a number problem, substitute your result back into the question. For a passage, point to the words that support your interpretation.

About this activity

These compact puzzles are practice activities, with a deliberately small board or sequence. They are not a complete catalogue of tournament puzzles. There is no timer or competitive ranking. Correct-answer counts describe this task only.

Some puzzles can have more than one valid solution; grid checks accept any solution that meets the displayed constraints. Hints follow a known example solution. Familiarity, hints and previous attempts affect performance.
