Zip #486 is a 7×7 grid with 9 numbered cells and 8 walls. The long haul is 2 → 3: 10 cells, so that stretch has to sweep a whole region before it can turn. Remember the path must cover every cell, so dead-end pockets have to be entered and left in one pass.

Hints

Hint 1 — where to start

From 1 at row 5, column 3, the first moves go up, left×2, up×2.

Hint 2 — a solid foothold

Leg lengths in order: 1→2 is 4 cells, 2→3 is 10 cells, 3→4 is 6 cells, 4→5 is 4 cells, 5→6 is 4 cells, 6→7 is 4 cells, 7→8 is 10 cells, 8→9 is 6 cells.

Hint 3 — nearly there

Halfway point: after 24 cells you should be at row 3, column 5.

Solution

Tap any part to reveal it, or reveal everything at once.
