Enclose Fox

Build the largest safe pen you can with a limited wall budget.

Daily Pen-Building Challenge

Enclose Fox is a daily grid puzzle where every wall matters. Your goal is to surround the fox with walls to create the largest enclosed area possible. Place walls on grass tiles, avoid water, and keep the fox from reaching the edge of the board.
