Confession: I have always loved loops and spinning things. I am a roller-coaster enthusiast who loves inversions (I once named a Sudoku “Cobra Roll”). I frequently spin in my office chair . I used to obsess over drawing The Perfect Circle™️. I use my Rubik’s cube as a fidget toy. Spinny spin spin. Spin spin loop loop. Loopy loop. Spinny spin.

Today, we are making lots of spinny spin loopy loops, and as such, today's genre is one of my favorites. Today’s genre is Ring-Ring!

Rules: Draw rectangular loops through the centers of empty cells so that every empty cell gets used. The sides of different rectangles may intersect each other, but not turn at their intersection or otherwise overlap.

As always, an example puzzle is attached alongside the image of today’s puzzle, along with its solution. I would heavily recommend giving the example puzzle a solve-- Ring-Ring can take some playing around to fully click! As such, the example is slightly bigger than the examples normally are-- I wanted to include as many of the basic logic types as I could.

To earn yourself a Speedy Sloth 🦥, spinny spin loopy loop in 1:45 or less!
To net yourself a Quick Crab 🦀, draw those rectangles in 6:00 or less!
All other times are deserving of a Loopy Ring Ouzel 🐦!
