Fence Pattern °2
(Published on 21. June 2020, 01:00 by Carrick22)
In this puzzle, you must draw lines according to the following rules :
- The lines must form a single closed loop.
- All points in the grid must be part of the loop.
- Grey cells must lie inside the loop, black letters must be outside the loop.
- The same letters must have the same pattern of lines drawn on their four edges. Different letters represent different patterns. See example below (grey inside, red outside) :
I wanted to create a puzzle where there would be no lines placed on the grid or random grey squares. Here is one that looks a bit nicer.
You can use Penpa-edit for solving it on your browser.
Solution code: Status of cell in row 7 and column 7 (left to right, top to bottom). Use "0" for cell outside the loop and "1" for inside. Relevant row/columns are marked for convenience. Example (column 5 of example) : 101011

I can't find any mistakes, so I think I've found multiple valid solutions. None of which are being accepted. :/
EDIT: Found it. My F and N have the same shape. Guess I need to start over. Part of my issue is the Penpa doesn't exactly match the picture. The 1E, the H, and the N aren't highlighted so they look blank.
EDIT2: I got it to work, but the last 2 cells still have an unresolvable ambiguity leading to 2 possible solutions.
