Rules: Place a diagonal line into each cell, connecting two opposite corners, such that no loops are formed by the diagonal lines. A clue in a circle indicates how many lines are extending from that circle.

Here’s a GAPP 101: Equivalently, the no-loop rule means that each group of connected lines must touch the edge of the grid (if not, it would be surrounded by a loop!) Look for places where a group needs to travel to reach the edge.
