Read Maze rules if the flow is new, then run a few mazes on the Play now page. Habits below follow a common practice order.
Scan before you step
On a fresh maze, take a second to spot main corridors and the exit direction before moving. It cuts down short dead-end loops.
Cut pointless backtracking
Backtracking is legal but costly in steps and time. When stuck, pause and plan; use Hint to compare against a shortest route if needed.
Match size to your goal
Medium 15×15 fits daily play; Easy 9×9 warms you up, Hard 25×25 and Impossible 35×35 stretch the walk. Stay on one preset for three runs before switching.
Use Daily for benchmarks
Daily keeps the same walls for everyone that day—great for comparing times with yesterday. Finish Daily at Medium, then chase bests on larger sizes.
