SHEEP AND WOLVES
(=SLITHERLINK VARIANT)

 

We like to receive at your suggestions for improvements and additions to this website.

A Sheep and Wolves puzzle is a variant of slitherlink, a famous loop puzzle. Try to create a continuous non-intersecting loop connecting dots horizontally or vertically.

The numbers in the cells indicate how many of its sides have a line and are part of the loop: 0, 1, 2 or 3. Empty cells may be surrounded by any number of lines.

This variant has an extra rule. The grid contains Sheep cells (=usually represented by black circles) and Wolves cells (=usually represented by black crosses). We use the letters S and W. All sheep must be kept within the loop, while all wolves must remain outside the loop.

As an aid, you can also click on the cells to color them as green or blue. Green is zone Wolves (=outside the loop) and blue is zone Sheep (=inside the loop).
