Featured Puzzle: Masyu #4

ByJacob Valdez

Draw a single loop which passes through all circles without branching or crossing itself.

  • Line segments travel from the center of one cell to the center of an orthogonally adjacent cell.
  • White pearls force the line to travel straight through them. It must turn 90 degrees in at least one of the cells before or after the pearl.
  • Black pearls require a 90-degree turn within them. Line segments each must then travel straight through at least one cell after exiting.
  • You are not required to use every empty cell.
  • Masyu White Pearl Example 1
    Pass straight through white pearls. You must turn at least once before or after the pearl.
  • Masyu White Pearl Example 2
    You may also turn both before AND after the white pearl.
  • Masyu Black Pearl Example
    Turn in a black pearl. Both segments must travel straight for at least one cell before they may turn again.

A common puzzle mechanic involves creating a loop that passes through every cell of the grid. In most of them, you have to draw a line through the centers of each cell, with restrictions based around numbers, circles, or blocked cells. Miti works a little differently. Yes, your goal is still to create a single looping path that passes through all cells. However, this time, you’re drawing the walls, not the path.
