So I don’t really do many slitherlink, and I think undoubtedly I have a lot to learn about how you skilfully put together a really good coherent puzzle. This one probably counts as an easy, although it isn’t entirely trivial. Enjoy!

So this started off being vaguely themed, and now it’s just quite hard. Not as hard as I’d intended, but that’s life. Enjoy!

EDIT: this used to have 2 solutions. Now it has one.

Hmmm. Mostly unremarkable this week I’d say. Mostly. :)

Friday Puzzles #86

A yajilin puzzle this week, dearest reader. Although this is only another little ‘un this week, I am beginning to convince myself it’s harder to squeeze out elegant yajilin in small sizes than it is for larger sizes.

Incidentally, this might have been a candidate for my alternative yajilin presentation (see here and here ) – my first draft has only six non-redundant numbers – although the positioning of each of the clues is actually quite crucial. Still, I like the whole 0/1/2/3 thing I managed to get out of it, so this time it stays in classic yajilin format. Enjoy!
