#15 - Redemption

Image
Rules:   Trace some gridlines to form straight lines segments which must intersect one another to form a single connected network which contains no loops. The end of a line segment may not lie on another line segment. Each clue marks one end of a line segment of the indicated length. A 0 means the vertex has no line segment. Every "dead end" of the network (a line segment which only intersects one other) must be marked by a clue. Solve the example puzzle online Solve the main puzzle online

#14 - Hotaru Beam

Rules:   For each circle in the grid, draw a path starting from its black dot, moving along the gridlines, and ending at a circle (including potentially the same one it started at), but not on the side containing another black dot. Paths may not cross themselves, each other, or pass through circles. A number in a circle represents how many turns the path exiting from its dot will make. All circles must be joined by paths to form one connected network. Solve it online

#13 - La Paz

Rules:   Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and divide the remaining unshaded cells into two-cell regions. Clued cells cannot be shaded. A clue indicates the number of shaded cells which lie entirely within the same row or column as the region containing the clue. Solve it online

#12 - Arboretum x6

Image
Rules:   Draw lines connecting the centers of orthogonally adjacent cells to form non-overlapping, non-looping networks, called trees, which together occupy all cells in the grid. Each tree must have exactly one seed. A tree’s endpoints (excluding cells with seeds) may not share a row or column. A number in a seed indicates how many non-seed endpoints the tree has. Lines may not pass through bold borders. Solve the first online Solve the second online Solve the third online Solve the fourth online Solve the fifth online Solve the sixth online

#11 - Simple Loop (Deconstructed)

Image
Rules:  Place each of the given 3x3 blocks into a distinct section of the grid without rotating them, and draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of all empty cells. Solve it online

#10 - Heyakari x3

Image
Rules:   Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Numbered regions must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. A line of consecutive unshaded cells may not cross more than one bold border. Place lights into some unshaded cells so that every cell is illuminated. Lights illuminate the cell they’re in as well as all cells seen in a straight line horizontally or vertically, not obstructed by a shaded cell. Lights may not illuminate each other. The number of lights in each region must equal the number of shaded cells in that region. Solve the first online Solve the second online Solve the third online

#9 - Shima Battle (2★)

Image
Rules:   Place stars into some cells so that each row and column contains exactly 2 stars. Stars may not touch one another, not even diagonally. Outlined regions contain at least 1 star, and regions that share an edge may not contain the same number of stars. Solve it online

#8 - Yajilin

Image
Rules:   Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of all the remaining empty cells. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the number of shaded cells in a straight line in the indicated direction. Solve it online

#7 - Tapa-Like Loop x2

Image
Rules:   Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some empty cells. Clues represent the numbers of consecutive cells occupied by the loop each time it enters the (up to) eight cells surrounding the clue. Solve the first online Solve the second online

#6 - Yajilin

#5 - Masyu

Image
Rules:   Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells that passes through every circle. The loop must turn on black circles and travel straight through the cells on either side. The loop must go straight through white circles, and turn in at least one of the cells on either side. Solve it online

#3 - Simple Loop

Rules:  Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of all empty cells. Solve it online

#2 - Compass

Image
Rules:   Divide the grid into regions of orthogonally connected cells, each containing exactly one compass. A number in a compass indicates how many cells belong to its region that are further in the indicated direction than the compass itself. Solve it online

#1 - Star Battle (2★)

Image
Rules:  Place stars into some cells such that each row, column, and outlined region contains exactly 2 stars. Stars may not touch one another, not even diagonally. Solve it online
