Where to start
This board has 2 openings where only a single route is possible, so those numbers are forced:
- The 16 in row 5 and the 18 in row 4 are exactly 2 steps apart, and only one 2-step route connects them — so 17 is forced.
- The 29 in row 6 and the 31 in row 7 are exactly 2 steps apart, and only one 2-step route connects them — so 30 is forced.
