About this game

Surround each clue with lines to form one single loop! Each puzzle consists of a rectangular lattice of dots with some clues in various places. The object is to connect the dots surrounding each clue so that the number of lines equals the value of the clue and the lines around all clues form one continuous loop with no crossings or branches. Empty squares may be surrounded by any number of lines.

Slitherlink are addictive loop-forming puzzles which were invented in Japan. Using pure logic and requiring no math to solve, these fascinating puzzles offer endless fun and intellectual entertainment to puzzle fans of all skills and ages.

The game features 2-finger tapping for quick zoom, auto complete clues setting and a link segment highlighting option to help to avoid creating separate loops. To help see the puzzle progress, graphic previews in the puzzle list show the progress of all puzzles in a volume as they are being solved. A Gallery view option provides these previews in a larger format.

For more fun, Slitherlink contains no ads and includes a Weekly Bonus section providing an extra free puzzle each week.

Takes a minute to get used to knowing when it'll automatically put in an x instead of a line where you tap, but after that, it's pretty easy to play! I love the number of free puzzles they give you. They have options to help you if you get stuck or made a mistake. They have free weekly puzzles, and when you run out of freebies, you can buy more puzzles for very cheap! The company that makes this also makes some very good puzzle magazines. Let's keep supporting them!

It is quite annoying when you de-select line, it will automatically insert 'x' symbol. If you have to change strategy and de-select 20 lines, then you have to deal with mess by clicking 20 times more to remove crosses. Please redevelop app and use long key press to insert 'x'. Short key press should be used to select/deselect alternatively. Thanks

Thank you for your feedback, and we will look into your suggestion. The problem is that the current UI has been this way for over 10 years and making changes might confuse some of the users.

Fun puzzle game but there's something wrong with difficulty categories. It took me 7 min to solve a "very easy" puzzle, 2 min to solve a "medium" one and 4 min to solve a "hard" one. Not sure what they based the categories on but it clearly means nothing for me and the time it will take me to solve them. So, if you struggle with a "very easy" puzzle don't beat yourself up and try another.
