Yajilin: the arrow-counting loop puzzle
A free daily 6×6 logic puzzle in which players shade cells according to arrows, then draw one closed loop through the rest.
Field notes
The grid combines two constraint systems: arrow clues count black cells toward the edge, while a single orthogonal loop must pass through every eligible cell without crossing or touching itself. Players can shade cells by tapping and draw or erase loop segments by dragging. The page identifies the puzzle as Yajilin, or Arrow Ring, and links the name to the Japanese words for arrow and link. An archive and a Kurodoko link suggest a broader puzzle collection beyond the displayed #7.
