Paw Trail #196: 6x6 Path Puzzle (Medium)
mediumDrag from 1 to 7 — fill every square
A 6x6 path puzzle: visit every square exactly once, hit the numbers 1 to 7 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 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.
R5C6 → R6C6 → R6C5 → R5C5 → R4C5 → R4C6 → R3C6 → R2C6 → R1C6 → R1C5 → R2C5 → R3C5 → R3C4 → R4C4 → R4C3 → R3C3 → R2C3 → R2C4 → R1C4 → R1C3 → R1C2 → R1C1 → R2C1 → R2C2 → R3C2 → R3C1 → R4C1 → R4C2 → R5C2 → R5C1 → R6C1 → R6C2 → R6C3 → R6C4 → R5C4 → R5C3
About this puzzle
This 6×6 grid has 7 numbers and 6 walls, and exactly one route fits all of them. The path starts at R5C6 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.
Every puzzle on this site has exactly one solution. If two routes both look possible, one of them will leave a square stranded later on.
