Masyu Snake Puzzle Rules and Logic Challenge

Masyu Snake is an original puzzle variation that combines two popular logic puzzle types: Masyu and Snake. This innovative puzzle blends the path-building rules of Masyu with the placement rules of Snake puzzles, creating a unique logical challenge. I created this puzzle to demonstrate the concept of this new puzzle type.

Masyu Snake Puzzle Instructions

Draw a snake in the grid, whose head and tail (if given) are greyed squares. The snake does not touch itself, not even diagonally. The numbers outside the grid indicate how many squares are occupied by the snake's body in the corresponding row or column. Additionally, the snake passes through every square containing a circle. It must turn at every black circle, but cannot turn immediately before or after. The snake cannot turn at any white circle, but must turn immediately before and/or after.
