Just Takegaki
Draw a single closed fence along the lattice. Each number counts how many of its four sides the fence uses.

A new board
The rules
- Draw one closed fence along the lines between the posts.
- At every post the fence either passes through or stays away: it never stops, forks or crosses itself.
- Each number counts how many of its cell's four sides carry fence.
Tap an edge to lay fence. Tap again for a cross, your own note that no fence runs there, and once more to clear it. Drag from post to post to draw a run of fence; a drag that starts on fence lifts it. With a keyboard: arrow keys move between posts, Shift and an arrow cycles that edge.

Questions
Do I ever have to guess in Takegaki?
No. Every garden is proved to have exactly one solution before it reaches you, and each step can be reasoned out.
Is Takegaki free to play here?
Yes. Today's garden and new 5×5 and 7×7 boards at every difficulty are free, with no account and no ads. The 10×10 boards, the lessons and the hints come with Just Takegaki, the app, which is on its way to the App Store.
Is today's garden the same as in the app?
Yes. The daily garden is made from the date, so this site and the app serve the same one.
