Where to start
This board has 2 openings where only a single route is possible, so those numbers are forced:
- The 26 in row 7 and the 29 in row 7 are exactly 3 steps apart, and only one 3-step route connects them — so 27 and 28 are forced.
- The 47 in row 1 and the 49 in row 1 are exactly 2 steps apart, and only one 2-step route connects them — so 48 is forced.
