Where to start
This board has 2 openings where only a single route is possible, so those numbers are forced:
- The 38 in row 1 and the 40 in row 1 are exactly 2 steps apart, and only one 2-step route connects them — so 39 is forced.
- The 49 in row 2 and the 51 in row 4 are exactly 2 steps apart, and only one 2-step route connects them — so 50 is forced.
