Slitherlink – the calm loop puzzle: draw ONE closed loop along the grid lines so that every number is satisfied. Three grid sizes, a new puzzle every day, and everything with no ads, no internet, no account. HOW IT WORKS A number in a cell tells how many of its four edges belong to the loop. Tap an edge: first it becomes a line, then a cross (definitely no line), then empty again. The puzzle is solved when exactly one closed loop satisfies every number. THREE SIZES 5×5 (Easy), 6×6 (Medium) and 7×7 (Hard) – from relaxed to tricky. The app keeps track of your best time, average time and solved puzzles. DAILY PUZZLE A new loop puzzle every day with a streak counter – a reason to come back. Every puzzle is checked by a solver before it appears and is guaranteed to have exactly one solution. BUILT FOR COMFORT · Undo moves one by one · Clear mistake highlighting, satisfied numbers fade out · Light and dark mode, easy on the eyes at night · In four languages (English, German, Spanish, French) WITHOUT ALL OF IT · No internet needed – works offline anywhere · No ads · No in-app purchases · No account, no sign-up · No data collection – everything stays on your device BUILT FOR ONE HAND Large targets, clear feedback, calm motion, real haptics.
