Actually, before publising IB, I read the instructions, when I got the "touch" in the rules of Tapa Loop, I thought it is not necessary. Because the loop in fact can touch itself. But this "touch" is not that "touch". Tapa Loop "touch" means loop cannot pass through in any cell twice. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Because the loop in fact can touch itself. But this "touch" is not that "touch". Tapa Loop "touch" means loop cannot pass through in any cell twice. If that is the case, instead of "cross or touch", "cross or overlap" is probably a more common description as used in other loop types. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Does this mean that there may be some Island area without any clue cell? No, each island should have one clue cell. MAY should be changed to Should in the instruction. Thanks for quickly clarifying this. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Does this mean that there may be some Island area without any clue cell? I'm sorry, I made a terrible mistake when replying to this. I was very sleepy and confused in the morning. Your assumption is right, there may be islands without clues. Sorry again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Your assumption is right, there may be islands without clues. Sorry again. In that case does the example has multiple solutions e.g. if R1C2 is blackened and R1C6, R2C6 are made white (part of Island)? |
