Masyu

Thread one loop through every pearl — white turns beside, black turns on.

About Masyu

An elegant Japanese puzzle with no numbers at all — just pearls. Draw a single loop through the grid that passes through every pearl and obeys their two quiet rules: through a white pearl the loop must travel straight, but must turn immediately before or after it; on a black pearl the loop must turn, then run straight on both sides. Two rules, endless subtlety. Widely considered the most graceful of all the loop puzzles. Free to play in your browser — no download, no sign-up.

How to Play

Drag between cells to draw the loop; the finished path must be one closed circuit. White pearls: go straight through, but turn on at least one side next to the pearl. Black pearls: turn on the pearl itself, then travel straight for the next cell on both sides.
