Where to start
This board has 3 openings where only a single route is possible, so those numbers are forced:
- The 17 in row 5 and the 21 in row 5 are exactly 4 steps apart, and only one 4-step route connects them — so 18, 19 and 20 are forced.
- The 9 in row 1 and the 11 in row 1 are exactly 2 steps apart, and only one 2-step route connects them — so 10 is forced.
- The 23 in row 4 and the 25 in row 2 are exactly 2 steps apart, and only one 2-step route connects them — so 24 is forced.
