How to proceed

- Count the four edges around each cell.
- Do not branch or form separate loops.
- Check puzzle verifies every clue and loop connectivity.
Input guidance

See how the rules apply
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. Choose a deliberate next step.
Pay attention to this rule
Several small loops are invalid even if clues match. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
