${DynamicText("About this genre (loading...)")}
|:info: New [Yajilin] variants will be added throughout the month of March.
| The rule panels for classic Yajilin are now claimed.
As one of the oldest and more popular [genres|kudamono/new], [Yajilin] has inspired many newer genres, for example [RB Loop].
Most global [variants|kudamono/variants] work with [Yajilin] out of the box, such as:
- [hex|#hex], [bouba|#bouba], [kiki|#kiki]
- [crossing|#crossing], [vertigo|#vertigo], [directions|#directions]
- [short|#short] / [no-short|#no-short], [shortest|#shortest]/[no-shortest|#no-shortest]
- [unequal-lengths|#unequal-lengths], [non-consecutive-lengths|#non-consecutive-lengths]
- [walls|#walls]
- [antiking|#antiking]
- [shade-domino|#shade-domino] vs [double|#double]
- [myopia|#myopia] / [hyperopia|#hyperopia]
- etc...
// - [directions|§directions]
| :info: Please note that ´´yajilin´´ is itself a variant that can be combined with other genres.
This page is thus an attempt to gather some of the most common [Yajilin] variants, and will be updated as they are collected:
## Atomic Variants
VARIANT RULES Example link
[´´redactable-false´´|§redactable-false] False (incorrect) clues may be shaded, to be ignored [by Ph.|https://puzsq.logicpuzzle.app/puzzle/121137]
[´´redactable´´|§redactable] Any clues (true or false) may be shaded, to be ignored TBA
[´´liar´´|§liar] Clues accept any number but the indicated TBA
[´´knapp-daneben´´|§knapp-daneben] Clue numbers are off by one (e.g. a 3 could be 2 or 4) TBA
## Composite Variants
VARIANT RULES EXAMPLE LINK
[´´transparent´´|§transparent] A clue is either shaded or crossed by the loop. Shaded clues are ignored. [by Prasanna Seshadri|https://www.gmpuzzles.com/blog/2016/05/yajilin-transparent-by-prasanna-seshadri/]
[´´transparent-strict´´|§transparent-strict] A clue is either shaded or crossed by the loop. However, only incorrect clues may be shaded, and thus ignored. [by Joseph Howard|https://www.gmpuzzles.com/blog/2019/05/yajilin-strict-transparent-by-joseph-howard/]
[´´double´´|§double] Shade dominos instead of single cells. Clues count partial or total dominos (instead of single cells) [by Grank Fikes|https://www.gmpuzzles.com/blog/2017/04/double-yajilin-grant-fikes/]
[´´myopia-shade´´|§myopia-shade] Same rules as [myopia], but arrows see shaded tiles instead. A shaded tile must be present. Arrows cannot be crossed nor shaded -
[´´hyperopia-shade´´|§hyperopia-shade] Same rules as [hyperopia], but arrows see shaded tiles instead. Arrows cannot be crossed nor shaded -
