To solve this maze, we need to find a continuous path from the "Start" arrow on the left side to the "Finish" arrow near the cross on the right side. We must follow the open white corridors and avoid the black walls.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1.
Start at the beginning: Enter the maze through the opening labeled "Start" on the left edge.
2.
Initial Move: Go straight to the right for two squares. You will hit a vertical wall.
3.
First Turn: Turn
Down. Go down one square.
4.
Second Turn: Turn
Right. Go right for three squares until you hit another vertical wall.
5.
Third Turn: Turn
Up. Go up one square.
6.
Fourth Turn: Turn
Right. Go right for two squares.
7.
Fifth Turn: Turn
Down. Go down one square.
8.
Sixth Turn: Turn
Left. Go left for one square (this creates a small loop-back movement to align with the next corridor).
9.
Seventh Turn: Turn
Down. Go down for three squares. This is a long vertical stretch.
10.
Eighth Turn: At the bottom of that stretch, turn
Right. Go right for four squares across the middle-lower section of the maze.
11.
Ninth Turn: Turn
Up. Go up for two squares.
12.
Tenth Turn: Turn
Right. Go right for three squares.
13.
Eleventh Turn: Turn
Down. Go down for one square.
14.
Twelfth Turn: Turn
Right. Go right for two squares.
15.
Thirteenth Turn: Turn
Up. Go up for four squares. This is another long vertical stretch moving towards the top-right area.
16.
Fourteenth Turn: Turn
Right. Go right for one square.
17.
Fifteenth Turn: Turn
Down. Go down for one square.
18.
Final Stretch: Turn
Right. Go right through the final opening to reach the "Finish" line next to the cross.
Verification:
Let's double-check the critical junctions.
- After entering, going right then down avoids the dead end immediately above the start.
- The long drop in step 9 is crucial; if you go right too early there, you hit a dead end.
- The long rise in step 15 is the key to getting to the upper right quadrant where the exit is located. If you try to go right earlier in the lower half, you will be blocked by horizontal walls.
The path successfully navigates from Start to Finish without crossing any walls.
Final Answer:
Path Directions:
From Start: Right 2 → Down 1 → Right 3 → Up 1 → Right 2 → Down 1 → Left 1 → Down 3 → Right 4 → Up 2 → Right 3 → Down 1 → Right 2 → Up 4 → Right 1 → Down 1 → Right to Finish.
