Outliar Slitherlink
(Published on 20. August 2023, 23:23 by virtual)
Nearly normal Slitherlink rules apply.
Connect some pairs of orthogonally adjacent dots to form a single non-intersecting loop.
Clues inside the loop represent the number of edges drawn surrounding the clue (up to four).
Clues outside the loop are liars and must not match the number of edges drawn around the clue.
Solve online: Penpa (with answer checking)
Solution code: Number of liar clues in each row, top to bottom. (7 digits)

This was my first non-sudoku puzzle variant I've tried! The puzzle was incredibly fun to solve when I caught onto the tricks for solving. Extremely well put together!

I used all the clues and did not find this as easy as the comments had me expect. I really enjoyed it though it was a ton of fun!

Easy, but nice.
And there is no rule that all puzzles need to be of highest quality. All puzzles are welcome if they make sense. The competition between setters came with the Sudoku flood, but is not the idea behind the Rätselportal. If you think a puzzle to be nice: share it with us. Many people are happy with any puzzle that is not a Sudoku. And if you get a rating under 90%, don't be sad. 80% is "good".

Thank you! I quite agree about the quality and am happy to share puzzles I think are worth sharing!

Changed difficulty to "Easy" pre-rating

Nice and fun concept, but I think a lot of the clues were unnecessary

If you happen to remember, which clues did you not use?

I agree with the one star difficulty assessment.

Congratulation on your first non-Sudoku puzzle! A whole new world opens up :) Thank you for the interesting puzzle. It is not 3 stars. I think it is 1 star... But we can compromise in the middle: 2 stars - deal? :)

I've been setting pencil puzzles for a bit, but this is the first one I felt good enough about to post to LMD!
