How to Solve Zip #580

Count rows from the top and columns from the left. Start at 1, R3C2. Each move below is measured in cells.

  1. 1 → 2: up, right three, down.
  2. 2 → 3: right, up, right.
  3. 3 → 4: down two, right, up three, left seven, down three, right. This fills the top boundary before entering 4.
  4. 4 → 5: right, up, right, down.
  5. 5 → 6: down, left, down two, left.
  6. 6 → 7: up two, left, down three, right seven, up three, left. This fills the bottom boundary.
  7. 7 → 8: left, up, left, down.
  8. 8 → 9: down, right two.
  9. 9 → 10: down, left three, up.

The route visits all 64 cells once, reaches checkpoints 1–10 in order and never crosses a black wall.
