Pentominous U-Bahn (Warm-up #1)
(Published on 15. November 2024, 09:10 by KNT)
Draw a totally connected 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.
Within a pentomino, all non-empty cells must be the same line shape.

I am going to post the "main" puzzle related to these two warm-ups in a few days. It is unusually challenging, and I highly recommending solving both of these introductory puzzles if you choose to attempt it. I hope it is a puzzle worthy of my 100th post on LM.
