Slant
Fill every cell with a diagonal and make the numbers add up.
How to play Slant
Every cell must hold a single diagonal line — either / or \. The numbers sit on the grid corners and tell you exactly how many diagonal ends should touch that corner. Click a cell to cycle it blank → / → \ → blank. Two extra rules: the diagonals may never form a closed loop, and to finish, every cell must be filled and every numbered corner satisfied. Solve it as fast as you can — lower times are better.

Slant — frequently asked questions
What do the corner numbers mean?
Each number counts how many diagonal line-ends meet at that corner. A 0 means no diagonal may touch it; a 4 means all four surrounding cells point into it.
Why is my grid full but not solved?
Your diagonals probably form a closed loop, which is not allowed, or a numbered corner has the wrong count. The status line warns you when a loop appears.
