Arrow loop puzzle
Arrows: free arrow loop puzzle online
Arrow cells stay unshaded and outside the loop. Each arrow counts shaded cells in its direction to the border. Shaded cells never share an edge. Every non-arrow cell is either shaded or part of one loop.

Start here
Begin with 0-arrows. Every non-clue cell from a 0-arrow to the border must stay unshaded, so the loop visits those cells. Each one will need two loop connections.
How a turn works
Shade cells or draw loop segments as you go. You cannot shade an arrow cell or draw the loop through it. A shade can force a loop line, and a loop line can force a shade.
