It's very rare in GAPP that we feature the same genre two days in a row. But I can assure you that Instructionless is one of the most versatile genres out there. Do check out Mender's post yesterday if you just got here and are very confused, and a reminder to not reveal the hint/full ruleset unless you're stumped on what the rules might be.
Hint: ⚠️ Number clues are minesweeper-like, and count the number of something around them. ⚠️
Full rules:
⚠️⚠️ Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some empty cells. Clues represent how many of the (up to) eight cells surrounding the clue contain a turn. . . ⚠️⚠️
Score a Sly Sloth 🦥 by solving the puzzle without using either spoiler.
Collect a Crafty Crab 🦀 by completing the puzzle using only the hint.
Or finish the puzzle using the full rules to become the proud owner of a Redacted Redpoll 🐦!
