Paw Trail #53: 5x5 Path Puzzle (Easy)
easyDrag from 1 to 6 — fill every square
Visit 1 → 6 in order
Every square exactly once
Thick lines are walls
A 5x5 path puzzle: visit every square exactly once, hit the numbers 1 to 6 in order, and never cross a wall.
- Draw one path that moves up, down, left or right.
- Pass through every square exactly once.
- Visit the numbers in order, starting on 1 and ending on 6.
- You can’t cross a wall. Drag back (or tap an earlier square) to undo.
The route, square by square
Squares are written as R<row>C<column>, counting from the top-left.
R5C3 → R4C3 → R4C2 → R5C2 → R5C1 → R4C1 → R3C1 → R3C2 → R2C2 → R2C1 → R1C1 → R1C2 → R1C3 → R2C3 → R3C3 → R3C4 → R2C4 → R1C4 → R1C5 → R2C5 → R3C5 → R4C5 → R4C4 → R5C4 → R5C5
About this puzzle
This 5×5 grid has 6 numbers and 5 walls, and exactly one route fits all of them. The path starts at R5C3 and finishes at R5C5.
Squares with a single open neighbor must be the end of the path, so check whether that is the last number or something is wrong earlier on.
This type of puzzle is a Hamiltonian path with waypoints, here with paw prints and walls.
