A closer look at one example
A 0 cell has no loop edge around it; a 3 has exactly three. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Several small loops are invalid even if clues match. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
