What Is Masyu?
Masyu is a Japanese logic puzzle where you draw one continuous loop through a grid while obeying the rules of black and white pearls. It is easy to learn, visually elegant, and deeply satisfying to solve through deduction rather than guessing.
○
White Pearl Rule
The loop must travel straight through a white pearl. Before or after passing through that pearl, the path must turn in at least one adjacent cell.
●
Black Pearl Rule
The loop must turn on a black pearl. It must also continue straight through the cells immediately before and after that turn.
See a Real Puzzle and Solution
Every puzzle begins with a pattern of pearls and one clear objective: discover the single continuous loop that satisfies every clue. Below is a real puzzle sample alongside its completed solution path.
One Logical Finish
The completed loop reveals how deduction gradually unlocks the path. Each puzzle in the series is designed to lead to one elegant solution.
