Slitherlink: instructions and practice
Read the aim of Slitherlink, then make your first move. Draw one closed loop whose edges match the count around every numbered cell. Use the example below to understand a decision. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Ten 4×4 loop puzzles with all cell clues shown.
An idea for your next attempt
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.
What you need to achieve
Draw one closed loop whose edges match the count around every numbered cell. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
From the start of a round
- 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 your actions work
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.
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 mistake to avoid
Several small loops are invalid even if clues match. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
