Inside this maze

The honeycomb grid has 12 columns and 8 rows, or 96 cells. Neighboring hexagons can meet in six directions, although walls close many of those connections. At a junction, inspect the sloping sides as well as the obvious horizontal passage before choosing your next move.

The stored shortest solution takes 50 cell-to-cell steps. Across the whole grid there are 10 dead-end cells and 14 junctions with at least three open connections. These are measured layout features, not a predicted solving time; exploring a wrong branch adds distance beyond the answer-key route.

The generation setting used 27% braiding. Braiding attempts to open passages at dead ends and can create loops; it does not mean that 27% of cells are loops. A valid route may differ from the shortest route displayed in the answer key.

Paper size and answer key

Print one maze per sheet at actual size, using the A4 or US Letter PDF that matches your paper.

The puzzle PDF leaves the route unmarked. Keep the solution SVG as a separate answer key, or compare your route with the on-screen solution after trying the puzzle. Check that each move passes through an opening and reaches the marked finish, rather than judging only whether the pencil line looks like the answer.
