Masyu is an elegant loop puzzle built around black and white pearls.

Rules

1. Draw a single continuous loop that passes through every pearl.
2. The path turns at every white pearl and goes straight through the cells before/after it along the entry line.
3. The path goes straight through every black pearl and turns in the cells immediately before and after.
4. No crossings or branches.

Starter patterns

• Black pearls near edges often force early turns outside the pearl.
• White pearls in corners or against walls drastically limit orientations.
• Connect forced segments early; avoid closing a small loop before all pearls are included.
