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.
Today’s the day of the total solar eclipse! Thousands of people have traveled to visit the path of totality. As you know, a solar eclipse happens when the moon passes in front of the sun. So let’s play with that theme. This grid is divided into regions. Draw a single closed loop that visits every region.
One eager ghost is really looking forward to trick-or-treating, and is already planning a route through the neighborhood. Can you find a route that circles the entire neighborhood, visiting every house one time?
You’re in charge of mapping the route for the Thanksgiving Day parade. It has to pass through every block in the city, and end where it begins. Can you deduce the correct path so that every attending citizen gets a chance to see their favorite float? Be on the lookout for a future Pure Loop…
Today, we have a Pure Loop puzzle. Draw a route that visits all empty cells without crossing itself or branching.
For today, we’ll play a popular loop puzzle called Slitherlink, or sometimes simply Fences. Draw a single closed loop between nodes.

Spring is coming, and it’s time to start planting flowers in your garden. One popular method to amend your soil, as well as add some nice contrast, is to lay down mulch. Using the numbered flowers, can you find the area we’re going to fence in and mulch?
The zombies are invading the forest! Fortunately, you’re VERY fast at building walls. Can you keep all the villagers safe from the zombie horde?
Happy National Trails Day! The first Saturday in June is a day to celebrate your local trail system and go for a walk. Today, you must examine the signs in the grid and deduce the route the trail takes. I liked the Castle Wall puzzle created by Palmer Mebane in 2009, and re-themed it as Trail Signs.
