U-Bahn with Extra Regions

(Eingestellt am 2. Juli 2024, 07:46 Uhr von wooferzfg)

This puzzle was created by Jakhob and wooferzfg, and it is a variant of U-Bahn. The rules previously appeared in puzzles by uvo and Zzzyxas.

If you are unfamiliar with U-Bahn, here is a guide that covers the core logic.

Rules

Draw a loop network through the centers of some cells, which may branch or turn, but may not have any dead ends.

A clue outside the grid indicates how many times the corresponding line shape (i.e. a cross, branch, straight line, or turn) appears in the corresponding row or column, irrespective of the line shape's rotation.

In each cage, every possible line shape must occur exactly once in every possible orientation (one empty cell, one cross, four branches, two straight lines, and four turns). The possible line shapes for each cage are shown to the right of the puzzle.

Excellent puzzle with some really unexpected and surprising logic! The last cage felt a bit miraculous too.

I can only echo Piatato, unusually good! Fans of the genre should’t skip this one - one of the richest 8x8 puzzles I have solved.
