or solve online<\/a> (using our beta test of Penpa-Edit tools; use the tab key to alternate between shading, number entry, and composite loop drawing modes)<\/p>\n

Theme:<\/b> Parquet<\/p>\n

Author\/Opus:<\/b> This is the 23rd puzzle from guest contributor Bryce Herdt.<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> Variation of Nanro<\/a> rules. Label some cells with numbers to form a single non-intersecting loop; no 2\u00d72 group of cells may be fully labeled, but the loop may touch itself orthogonally or diagonally. The region boundaries divide the loop into segments, and each region must have at least one segment. Numbers denote the length in cells of each segment within a region; all numbers in a region must be the same. When two numbers from different segments are orthogonally adjacent, the numbers must be different. (Consequently, segments in the same region must not share an edge.)<\/p>\n
