Welcome to this fantastic collection of 100 brand new simple loop puzzles, also known as Fences. If you like other loop-making puzzles such as slitherlink, masyu or yajilin, why not give simple loop a try?The rules of the puzzle are simple: draw a single, continuous loop that visits every square in the puzzle grid just once. The loop cannot cross itself. This book contains simple loop / fences puzzles at three different grid sizes: 6 x 6, 8 x 8 and 10 x 10. The larger puzzles take a little longer to solve and prove more of a solving challenge, but the rules are the same. There are various tips and tricks that will help you solve these puzzles. Remember that the loop must enter and exit each square, so look for instances where there are only two neighbouring squares that can be visited by an empty square: the loop going through that square can be marked in directly. Also remember that the loop cannot close itself until it passes through every square in the grid, so if taking the loop in a certain direction would cause part of the loop to join itself prematurely or equally would isolate part of the loop then it cannot go in that direction.Good luck with the puzzles, and remember that they each have a single solution for you to discover.

Slitherlink (also known as "Fences," "Loop the Loop," "Dotty Dilemma," "Sli-Lin," "Great Wall of China") is a logic puzzle. It was invented by Nikoli Puzzles in Japan. Slitherlink is played on a rectangular lattice of dots. Some of the squares formed by the dots have numbers inside them. The objective is to connect horizontally and vertically adjacent dots so that the lines form a single loop with no loose ends. In addition, the number inside a square represents how many of its four sides are segments in the loop.
