It's 2025!!!!!!!! Happy new year! Let's start off the year with a Rail Pool for a ✨ Wacky Width Wednesday ✨. Because 2025 is a square number, I've even made the puzzle on a grid with square cells.

Previous Rail Pool: Archive: Friday, 17 May 2024

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centres of all cells. Some boldly outlined regions contain number clues. If a straight loop segment visits any cells of a clued region, its length must match one of these numbers. Each number must correspond to at least one such loop segment.

Note: See the additional diagram below for some correct and incorrect examples of a region.
