Where to start
This board has 2 openings where only a single route is possible, so those numbers are forced:
- The 22 in row 7 and the 25 in row 4 are exactly 3 steps apart, and only one 3-step route connects them — so 23 and 24 are forced.
- The 37 in row 6 and the 40 in row 3 are exactly 3 steps apart, and only one 3-step route connects them — so 38 and 39 are forced.
