Where to start
This board has 2 openings where only a single route is possible, so those numbers are forced:
- The 25 in row 5 and the 27 in row 7 are exactly 2 steps apart, and only one 2-step route connects them — so 26 is forced.
- The 58 in row 6 and the 60 in row 8 are exactly 2 steps apart, and only one 2-step route connects them — so 59 is forced.
