Walker

Today, I’m taking the Puzzle City Green Line Bus to the park. 🚌 🚏 The public transport in this city is great! The bus arrivals are regular, and this one showed up right on time. The bus route covers all the empty road space in the city and travels right next to each of the buildings. The only problem is that, being a puzzle bus, it only turns left for some reason. All this looping around is giving me Vertigo… 😵‍💫

Rules: Draw a directed loop through the centers of all empty cells. Two perpendicular line segments may intersect each other, but not turn at their intersection or otherwise overlap. All turns the loop makes must be in the same direction.

Here’s a GAPP 101 that may be helpful for thinking about the genre: After making a turn, the loop needs to go straight until it can turn again. Also, because you can only turn in one location, don’t turn in a place that will force the loop to make an S shape from two opposite turns.
