Looping Chaos
(Published on 12. March 2024, 20:44 by Paletron)
Rules:
- Each row, column, and region must contain the digits 1-9 once each. Regions consist of a set of nine orthogonally connected cells and must be determined by the solver.
- All circles indicate the number of surrounding 3x3 cells (including itself), that are in the same region as the circle. Not all possible circles are given.
- Draw a single closed loop moving orthogonally through centers of some cells. The loop does not cross nor intersect itself. If it enters a region, it must visit every cell of the region before leaving it. Red circles are visited by the loop, black circles are not.

Fun puzzle! Relatively approachable for a chaos construction, but plenty of really nice deductions!
