middle steps 1	At each stage, your string of letters should be an English word (in most dictionaries).
middle steps 2	There are some false paths, and some ambiguous stages, but future steps will identify a unique solution.
middle steps 3	If you're having trouble with the word puzzle, you can try to determine the path first. This is a special kind of knight's tour called a closed knight's tour.
