Adjective Maze Solution
Objective:
Help the race cars get to the finish line by drawing a path through
only the adjectives. You must avoid non-adjectives (nouns, verbs, etc.).

Step 1: Understand What an Adjective Is
An
adjective is a word that describes a noun (e.g., color, size, shape, condition).
Examples:
-
Color: yellow, blue
-
Size: tiny, small, big
-
Shape/Texture: flat, puffy
-
Speed: fast
Words like *car*, *tire*, *track*, *paint*, and *driving* are
not adjectives — they are nouns or verbs.

top right (start), and follow only adjectives to reach the
finish at the bottom left.
