Linesweeper 3
(Published on 28. December 2021, 17:26 by Lizzy01)
Draw a single closed loop in the grid that goes from cell center to cell center and does not branch or cross itself. The clues indicate the number of adjacent cells that are visited by the loop (like minesweeper). The loop never visites a cell with a number in it.
Play the puzzle here.
Solution code: column 7, row 5 (1 for straight loop, L for bent loop, 0 for no loop)

Solution code is broken
--I somehow doubt it, considering 64 people have solved it and neither the puzzle nor the solution code have changed since. Have you checked if your solution isn't broken?
It could be that there are multiple solutions as I've double checked and my solution fits the ruleset. To be sure I have tested both 0, 1 and L and neither is accepted.
--Did you think it was only one cell? This puzzle is from back when it was standard to ask for two full rows and/or columns as a solution code, and no-one would have assumed it could mean the single cell. It means every cell in column 7 followed by row 5.
Thanks for the clarification and the enjoyable puzzle. I did found it a bit odd for it to be a single-cell solution but having an entire column and row also did not cross my mind. Got it now!
