Edge hint: The clue indicates the total number of edges surrounding the clue cell that are used by the loop.
Touch hint: The clue indicates the total number of times the loop visits the clue cell. A visit is defined as a contiguous section of the loop traveling on the boundary of the cell, including the possibility of just a single corner point; two such sections are considered separate visits if the loop leaves the boundary of the cell between them.
Vertex hint: The clue indicates the total number of vertices surrounding the clue cell that are used by the loop.
Turn hint: The clue indicates the total number of vertices surrounding the clue cell at which the loop makes a turn.

Solution code: The sizes of the areas outside the loop, clockwise, starting from the top left. X if greater or equal to 10.

KNT you are the sole reason why I will need to visit my eye doctor this year. Solving this on a small screen was painful, yet still lots of fun.

Everything I have posted in 2024, besides the few Chaos Constructions, have been leftovers from 2023. This was the largest of those leftover puzzles, so naturally I am posting it last - and I am aware a handful of solvers here have already solved this elsewhere. I hope to the rest of you it is an enjoyable slitherlink.
And with a near-empty backlog, it seems I should start setting puzzles again...
