Paw Trail #184: 6x6 Path Puzzle (Medium)
mediumDrag from 1 to 7 — fill every square
Trace a single trail that fills the 6x6 grid. The numbers show the order to visit, the thick walls block the way, and every square must be used once.
- 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 7.
- 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.
R5C4 → R4C4 → R4C3 → R4C2 → R5C2 → R6C2 → R6C1 → R5C1 → R4C1 → R3C1 → R2C1 → R1C1 → R1C2 → R2C2 → R3C2 → R3C3 → R2C3 → R1C3 → R1C4 → R1C5 → R1C6 → R2C6 → R2C5 → R2C4 → R3C4 → R3C5 → R3C6 → R4C6 → R4C5 → R5C5 → R5C6 → R6C6 → R6C5 → R6C4 → R6C3 → R5C3
About this puzzle
This 6×6 grid has 7 numbers and 4 walls, and exactly one route fits all of them. The path starts at R5C4 and finishes at R5C3.
Look for corners and wall-lined squares: a square with only two open sides forces the path through it in a straight line.
This type of puzzle is a Hamiltonian path with waypoints, here with paw prints and walls.
