Abstract :
Slither link is one of challenging puzzle games to human and computer players. In this paper, we propose an efficient method to solve Slither link puzzles. After using this method, we can solve each of 10,000 25x30 puzzles given in [9] within 0.05 seconds. Without using the method, it takes at least 10 minutes to solve some of these puzzles.
