Zero Clue

A 0 means no edge of this cell can be part of the loop — mark all four sides with an X.

How it works

  1. 1A 0 says the loop uses none of this cell's four sides — that is the whole content of the clue, so nothing else has to be true first.
  2. 2Cross off all four sides. The loop still has the rest of the board to run in; it just can't touch this cell.

A 4 means every edge of this cell is part of the loop — draw all four sides as lines.
