Slitherlink: how a round works
Choose a round of Slitherlink and settle into its rules. Draw one closed loop whose edges match the count around every numbered cell. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Read the objective before making your first input. Use the example below to understand a decision.
