Paw Trail #5: 5x5 Path Puzzle (Easy)
easyDrag from 1 to 6 — fill every square
Can you thread one line through the whole grid? Begin at 1, reach each number in turn, end on 6, and cover every one of the 25 squares without crossing yourself.
- 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 → R5C4 → R5C5 → R4C5 → R3C5 → R2C5 → R1C5 → R1C4 → R2C4 → R2C3 → R1C3 → R1C2 → R1C1 → R2C1 → R2C2 → R3C2 → R3C3 → R3C4 → R4C4 → R4C3 → R4C2 → R5C2 → R5C1 → R4C1 → R3C1
About this puzzle
This 5×5 grid has 6 numbers and 2 walls, and exactly one route fits all of them. The path starts at R5C3 and finishes at R3C1.
Begin at both ends. The squares around 1 and the final number have few ways out, and walls often leave a square with only one possible exit.
Drag your finger (or mouse) from 1 to draw the path. Drag back along it, or tap an earlier square, to undo part of the route.
