Happy new year!!!!!! Let's start off 2026 with a Nanameguri. What a coincidence that I get to do the first puzzle of the year again this year. Almost as if 365 is divisible by 5

Previous Nanameguri by Freddie: Archive: Saturday, 5 August 2023

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells which passes through each region exactly once. Each cell containing a diagonal portion of a region boundary must be used by the loop, but the diagonal portion cannot be passed through. In other words, the loop must make a 90° turn, as though reflected off of it. (The loop cannot reflect off the diagonal line on both sides)

Finish the puzzle in 3:30 or less for a Speedy Sloth 🦥!
