Zip #493 is a 7×7 grid with 8 numbered cells and 22 walls. The long haul is 3 → 4: 17 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 5, the first moves go down, right, up×2, left.

Hint 2 — a solid foothold

Leg lengths in order: 1→2 is 5 cells, 2→3 is 1 cell, 3→4 is 17 cells, 4→5 is 2 cells, 5→6 is 5 cells, 6→7 is 1 cell, 7→8 is 17 cells.

Hint 3 — nearly there

Halfway point: after 24 cells you should be at row 4, column 4.

Solution

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