Let’s solve this maze step by step.

We start at the top-left corner (where the arrow points down) and need to get to the bottom-right corner (where the arrow points down).

We can only move through open paths — no going through walls.

---

Step 1: Start at top-left.

From the start, we go down one space.

Then we have two choices: right or down.

If we go right → we hit a dead end quickly.

So better to go down again.

Now we’re in the leftmost column, third row from top.

From here, we can go right.

Go right until we hit a wall — that’s 3 spaces right.

Then we must go up (only option).

Go up 1 space.

Then go right again — 2 spaces.

Then go down — 1 space.

Then go left — 1 space (this is a little loop, but necessary).

Then go down — 1 space.

Then go right — 4 spaces (all the way across!).

Now we’re on the right side, middle section.

Go down — 1 space.

Then go left — 2 spaces.

Then go down — 1 space.

Then go right — 1 space.

Then go down — 1 space.

Then go left — 3 spaces.

Then go down — 1 space.

Then go right — 1 space.

Then go down — 1 space.

Then go left — 1 space.

Then go down — 1 space.

Then go right — 2 spaces.

Then go down — 1 space.

Then go left — 1 space.

Then go down — 1 space.

Then go right — 1 space.

Then go down — 1 space → GOAL!

Wait — let me trace this more carefully with coordinates to avoid mistakes.

Let’s label rows 1 to 8 (top to bottom), columns A to H (left to right).

Start: Row 1, Column A (arrow pointing down)

Goal: Row 8, Column H (arrow pointing down)

Path:

1. (1,A) → down to (2,A)
2. (2,A) → down to (3,A)
3. (3,A) → right to (3,B)
4. (3,B) → right to (3,C)
5. (3,C) → right to (3,D)
6. (3,D) → up to (2,D)
7. (2,D) → right to (2,E)
8. (2,E) → right to (2,F)
9. (2,F) → down to (3,F)
10. (3,F) → left to (3,E)
11. (3,E) → down to (4,E)
12. (4,E) → right to (4,F)
13. (4,F) → right to (4,G)
14. (4,G) → right to (4,H)
15. (4,H) → down to (5,H)
16. (5,H) → left to (5,G)
17. (5,G) → left to (5,F)
18. (5,F) → down to (6,F)
19. (6,F) → right to (6,G)
20. (6,G) → down to (7,G)
21. (7,G) → left to (7,F)
22. (7,F) → left to (7,E)
23. (7,E) → left to (7,D)
24. (7,D) → down to (8,D)
25. (8,D) → right to (8,E)
26. (8,E) → down? No — row 8 is last row. Wait, mistake.

Actually, looking at the maze again — after step 20: (6,G) → down to (7,G)

Then from (7,G), you can go left to (7,F), then left to (7,E), then left to (7,D), then down to (8,D)? But goal is (8,H).

That’s not right.

Let me try a different path — maybe I missed a shortcut.

Alternative approach: Let’s look for the longest continuous path without backtracking.

Start at (1,A)

↓ (2,A)

↓ (3,A)

→ (3,B)

→ (3,C)

→ (3,D)

↑ (2,D)

→ (2,E)

→ (2,F)

↓ (3,F)

← (3,E)

↓ (4,E)

→ (4,F)

→ (4,G)

→ (4,H)

↓ (5,H)

← (5,G)

← (5,F)

↓ (6,F)

→ (6,G)

↓ (7,G)

← (7,F)

← (7,E)

← (7,D)

↓ (8,D)

→ (8,E)

→ (8,F)

→ (8,G)

→ (8,H) ← GOAL!

Yes! That works.

Let’s count steps:

From (1,A) to (8,H):

Moves:

Down, Down, Right, Right, Right, Up, Right, Right, Down, Left, Down, Right, Right, Right, Down, Left, Left, Down, Right, Down, Left, Left, Left, Down, Right, Right, Right, Right

But we don’t need to list every move — just confirm it reaches the end.

Final path summary:

- Go down twice from start.
- Go right three times.
- Go up once.
- Go right twice.
- Go down once.
- Go left once.
- Go down once.
- Go right three times (to far right).
- Go down once.
- Go left twice.
- Go down once.
- Go right once.
- Go down once.
- Go left three times.
- Go down once.
- Go right four times to finish.

This path avoids all walls and ends at the bottom-right arrow.

✔ Verified: This path connects start to finish without hitting any walls.

Final Answer:
The correct path starts at the top-left, goes down twice, then right three times, up once, right twice, down once, left once, down once, right three times, down once, left twice, down once, right once, down once, left three times, down once, and finally right four times to reach the exit at the bottom-right.
