Hi, it's me again! I will be taking up shye's slot until she can return to the rotation. This is my 25th GAPP, but up to now I've never done a supersized Saturday or a strange-shaped Sunday. Today, we're changing one of those things. Enjoy your Sunday!

Today's puzzle is a Mukkonn Enn (Hexagonal)!

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of all cells. When the loop exits a clued cell from a side with a number, it must travel in a straight line for exactly the indicated number of cells (turning on the Nth cell, where N is the value of the clue). A number does not necessarily mean that the clue must be exited from its side.

💻 Interface note: Two links are provided for each puzzle. These lead to the same puzzle, but the clue presentation is slightly different: In the first link, the loop and cross marks are drawn over number clues, making it slightly more difficult to read the clue values. In the second link, clues remain on top of all drawn elements, so the values are easier to read, but loop continuity might be a bit harder to see. The example solution shows the difference (the left of the two clues at the top corresponds to the first link, the right to the second), pick whichever you prefer!
