  • Masyu 10x10 Puzzle

Draw a single loop which passes through all circles without branching or crossing itself.

  • Line segments travel from the center of one cell to the center of an orthogonally adjacent cell.
  • White pearls force the line to travel straight through them. It must turn 90 degrees in at least one of the cells before or after the pearl.
  • Black pearls require a 90-degree turn within them. Line segments each must then travel straight through at least one cell after exiting.
  • You are not required to use every empty cell.
  • Masyu White Pearl Example 1
    Pass straight through white pearls. You must turn at least once before or after the pearl.
  • Masyu White Pearl Example 2
    You may also turn both before AND after the white pearl.
  • Masyu Black Pearl Example
    Turn in a black pearl. Both segments must travel straight for at least one cell before they may turn again.
