Loop Painting Puzzle with Hidden Solution and Rules

Loop Painting is an original puzzle variation inspired by the popular puzzle types known as Paint by Numbers, Nonograms, and Griddlers. While traditional Nonogram puzzles reveal a hidden picture, this variation challenges you to use the clues to create a single continuous loop formed by painted cells. By combining shading logic with loop construction rules, Loop Painting offers a fresh puzzle-solving experience that requires both deduction and careful planning. If you enjoy Nonograms, logic puzzles, and loop puzzles, this innovative puzzle type should provide an enjoyable challenge.

Loop Painting Instructions

Paint some of the squares to form a single loop that does not touch or overlap itself, not even diagonally. The numbers given outside indicate how many unbroken groups of filled squares appear in a row or column. For example, a clue of "4 8 3" means there are groups of four, eight, and three consecutive filled squares with at least one blank square separating successive groups. The clue numbers are not necessarily given in the order in which the groups appear.
