Slitherlink is a puzzle presented as a dotted grid surrounding some numbers. Groups of four adjacent dots act as corners of a square called a cell. Some cells of the grid are filled with numbers. To fill-in the puzzle, you create one continuous, non-intersecting loop, drawn from one dot to an adjacent dot horizontally or vertically. Connecting one dot to the next draws a side or border of the cell. The goal of the puzzle is for your loop to provide the indicated number of sides/borders to numbered cells - each cell that has a number in it has that many borders (from the loop) surrounding its cell. For example, here is a completed puzzle: 1 1 2 2 1 1 13 1 13 2 12 2 1 1 21 3 3 3 2 1 1) Now let's try putting these strategies to use in some puzzles! Here is a Slitherlink puzzle.
