For this puzzle, you are not allowed to use computer solvers or word lookup tools like Nutrimatic. Solving this puzzle does not require assuming the answer to be a meaningful phrase (e.g. something like EXAOOYMMMNM cannot be immediately eliminated).
Kouchoku Rules
Draw lines connecting all clues to form a loop which travels through each clue once. Lines only travel straight from clue to clue (allowing non-orthogonal lines). Two line segments may intersect each other only at a 90° angle. All clues containing the same letter must be connected consecutively. Clues containing different letters may not be directly connected; the loop must travel through at least one empty clue between them.
