Let’s solve this maze step by step.
We start at the top-left corner, labeled “START”. Our goal is to get to the bottom-right corner, labeled “FINISH”, without going through walls. We can only move up, down, left, or right — no diagonals.
---
Step 1: Start at START (top-left)
From here, we can only go
right, because going down hits a wall immediately.
→ Move right along the top path until we hit a vertical wall blocking further right movement.
---
Step 2: Go down from that point
After moving right as far as possible on the top row, we must turn
down.
Follow the path downward — it will curve and twist, but stay on the open path.
You’ll go down, then left, then down again, then right… keep following the only available route.
---
Step 3: Watch for dead ends
Some paths look promising but lead to dead ends. For example:
- If you go too far left in the middle section, you’ll hit a wall with no exit.
- Some upward paths loop back — avoid them unless they’re part of the main route.
Stick to the path that always has an opening ahead.

Step 4: Navigate the center
In the middle of the maze, there’s a complex junction. The correct path goes:
→ Down → Right → Down → Left → Down → Right → Down
This avoids loops and leads toward the lower half.
---
Step 5: Reach the bottom area
Once you’re in the bottom third of the maze, follow the path that snakes toward the right side.
There’s one clear path that leads directly to the “FINISH” label at the bottom-right corner.
---
✔ You’ve made it!
Final Answer:
Start at the top-left, follow the only continuous path that winds through the maze without hitting walls, and you will reach the finish at the bottom-right. There is exactly one correct solution path — trace it carefully without lifting your pencil!
