Illiterate Loop
Rules[edit]
Draw a single closed loop that travels horizontally and vertically through the centres of all white cells. The loop cannot touch or cross itself. A set of letters that can never be consecutive along the loop is given; the letters along the loop are never an anagram of the given word.
(Rules (modified) and example (word = "ABC") from WPC 2016 IB)
History of the puzzle[edit]
First appeared on WPC 2016/Round 11, an "innovative" round. The author of the puzzle was Matej Uher (Slovakia).
A similar puzzle with all cells being occupied with numbers and the word being "ABCD" can be seen on Naoki Inaba's (Japan) website under the name アンイーブン ("Uneven"). [1]
