Instruction:
Draw a single, non-intersecting loop that only consists of line segments between the dots along the dashed lines. A number inside a cell indicates how many of the edges of that cell are part of the loop.
For each row and column, consider its cells to be divided into segments by the edge of the loop; that is, a segment is an uninterrupted group of touching cells that are either all inside the loop or all outside the loop, and every cell in that row or column is part of exactly one segment. (For example, a row that only has cells inside the loop has exactly one segment, equal to the length of the row.) A group of gray squares given outside the grid indicates that at least one segment of that size can be found along the corresponding row or column. A number given with the segment indicates the order in which that segment appears in that direction along that row or column (for example, a 3 means that the specified segment is the 3rd segment). It is possible for other segments of the same length as the clued segment to appear without being clued.
