Different Neighbours U-Bahn
(Published on 2. June 2024, 11:30 by Paletron)
- 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.
- Orthogonally adjacent cells cannot contain the same line shape.
Solution code: For each row except the last, the number of lines leading down

Rather tough but interesting puzzle. Lots of new logic introduced by this variant, which is rather powerful.

This ruleset allows for a potpourri of new deductions (at least new to me) which I very much enjoyed. Thank you, Paletron!

Quick question: Does an empty cell also count as line shape? In other words, can there be two orthogonally adjacent empty cells?
- No, they don't have a line shape, so they can be adjacent.

Thanks for the quick reply! (:

Cool puzzle, but I don't see how this is even remotely close to a 3 star. Maybe for u-bahn gurus, it is.
