Loop Special
Rules Draw some loops, each visiting all instances of exactly one clue. Between them, the loops visit all cells of the grid. Some cells have already been fully drawn for you. Loops may cross over themselves and each other, but only when the cell contains neither turns nor a clue and the overlap has no length. Loops are only made out of horizontal and vertical line segments which go through the centres of every containing cell.

More wind for the mill
Unless I messed something up, this Witness-like puzzle should be quite tricky. In fact, it is so tricky that the solution checker often times out, though it does work fine for the intended solution.
If the meaning of these symbols is unknown to you and you have no desire to play The Witness, feel free to ask in the comments.
Ring Ring
Rules: Draw a number of rectangles by joining the centres of cells with horizontal and vertical line segments. All white cells must be written in; all black cells should remain empty. Rectangles may intersect each other on single, non-corner points, but may not otherwise overlap. Restatement.

Witness
The Witness is a superlative puzzle game, and about a third of the game's puzzles could work on paper. With the caveat that the main game activity is figuring out its rules, rather than solving per se. If you haven't, I won't spoil the game by explaining the rules. If you have, and crave a few hits more, The Windmill is a site in alpha for drawing, sharing and solving puzzles of the sort. Like this one.
