Spatial planning
Axiom Path
Start on 1 and draw a single line through the grid: it must visit every cell exactly once, pass the numbered checkpoints in increasing order and finish on the highest number. Walls block the way between some cells. Plan ahead, because a corner left behind cannot be reached later.

Rules

- It visits every cell of the grid exactly once.
- It passes the checkpoints in increasing order and ends on the highest one.
- The line cannot cross a wall between two cells.

How to play, step by step
- Draw one line. Press on the end of the line and drag through neighbouring cells. Drag back over the line to erase it.
- Mind the numbers. Pass the checkpoints in order and fill every cell. Thick bars are walls: the line cannot cross them.
