Where to start

This board has 2 openings where only a single route is possible, so those numbers are forced:

  • The 35 in row 9 and the 37 in row 9 are exactly 2 steps apart, and only one 2-step route connects them — so 36 is forced.
  • The 58 in row 4 and the 60 in row 4 are exactly 2 steps apart, and only one 2-step route connects them — so 59 is forced.
