Kouchoku 🔀

    Today, we are taking a look at Kouchoku (featured previously here), a mind-bending crossing loop genre that makes for very tedious solve on paper (bless puzz.link). It gets really fun once you grasp the logic behind, and while it is a niche in loop genres it makes you work on your scanning abilities. Here are the rules :

Draw lines between every node to form a loop.

- Lines go straight from node to node, and can be drawn at any angle.

- The loop can not branch off. Nodes must be visited exactly once.

- The loop may intersect itself if the two lines meet at a right angle (90°), and there is not a node at the intersection.

- All clues containing the same letter must be connected consecutively.

- Clues containing different letters may not be directly connected; the loop must travel through at least one unmarked node between them.

    Only one puzzle today, I may post more if possible, but I'm currently slowing down my posting schedule. Medium difficulty, easier ones will be made later.

    Thanks to Wessel for feedback.

Loop Lunch #2

     We're featuring new Loop puzzles today. Namely, Slalom, Yajilin (help me), Ice Walk, Mukkonn Enn and Kouchoku. Again, rules are on the "Help" sections if you don't know one of these. 

     Mukkonn Enn was recently added to the puzz.link tool and will be featured again in a Doppel puzzle. Kouchoku is definetly not beginner-friendly because of its crossing nature, but the puzzle should still be reasonable.

    Thanks to Wessel for testing the Kouchoku.
