How to Play Slitherlink

Rules

  • Draw a single closed loop along grid edges.
  • Each numbered cell tells you how many of its 4 edges are part of the loop.
  • The loop has no branches and no dead ends — every point on the loop connects exactly 2 edges.
  • Blank cells give no information.

Controls

  • Click/tap an edge to cycle: empty → line → × → empty
  • Right-click to mark × (excluded) directly
  • U or Ctrl+Z Undo
  • Ctrl+Y Redo
  • H Hint

Clue Colours

  • Default — no edges set yet
  • Orange — some edges set, not enough
  • Green — exactly satisfied
  • Red — too many edges

About easy slitherlink

Easy slitherlink uses a 5×5 grid. About 70% of cells have number clues, and you will see plenty of 0s and 3s. A 0 lets you immediately exclude all four edges. A 3 in a corner forces two edges right away. Between these two patterns, large chunks of the loop fill themselves in.

Focus on the two core rules: numbef clues dictate how many edges belong to the loop, and every line segment must connect into one closed path. When you run out of obvious moves, check vertices. If a vertex already has two lines, its remaining edges are all excluded.

Once 5×5 takes you under 3 minutes, try medium.
