Wall Loop

 I recently remembered a puzzle that I don't believe I'd shared here for some reason, which led me to realize that I may have accidentally skipped over a few other puzzles when mirroring the older puzzles here. The following puzzle was shared on 9/20/2023 and was originally intended to be in a hypothetical update to Stencil. It did not make the cut because it was a fundamentally different puzzle genre and I wanted to be consistent, but I still think the idea has some merit to it.


Draw horizontal and vertical bars which bisect tiles (such as those in Amibo) which connect to form a single loop that doesn't branch between cells or cross itself. This is functionally equivalent to a normal loop through cells where the corner pieces are replaced with intersections, except for the fact that corners cannot be adjacent unless they are adjacent in the loop, in which case the loop would branch into itself. For example, in this puzzle, some intersections have already been marked and the loop cannot pass over X's.
