How to solve a maze

Just drag along the path from the start to the exit. The trick is to try tracing it back from the exit.

Maze rules

1
Go from the start in the top-left to the exit in the bottom-right.
2
You can't go through walls. Drag your finger (or mouse) along the path. On a computer, the arrow keys work too.
3
Drag back over the way you came to go back. If you hit a dead end, back up and try another way.
4
There is exactly one path from the start to the exit. Reach the exit to finish.

Tips to finish faster

Try tracing back from the exit. It shows which branches lead to dead ends.
At a fork, try the branch that heads toward the exit first.
Keeping one hand on the wall (the right-hand or left-hand rule) always gets you out eventually, because these mazes have no loops.
Get used to 8×13 or 11×20 before moving to the big mazes.
