Where to start
This board has 2 openings where only a single route is possible, so those numbers are forced:
- The 25 in row 1 and the 28 in row 1 are exactly 3 steps apart, and only one 3-step route connects them — so 26 and 27 are forced.
- The 46 in row 6 and the 49 in row 3 are exactly 3 steps apart, and only one 3-step route connects them — so 47 and 48 are forced.
