See how the rules apply
A 0 cell has no loop edge around it; a 3 has exactly three. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.
A mistake to avoid
Several small loops are invalid even if clues match. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
