Pixel Flow Route Planning: Build the Path Before You Move
A quick system for reading the grid, reserving space, and avoiding dead ends in the pixel puzzle game.

Start with the exit lanes
Scan for the most constrained exits first. If a lane only has one entry point, lock it in before you fill the center.
Reserve the longest path
Mark the longest connection in your head and keep it open. Short paths can bend around it later.
Use a two step check
Before you place a move, ask: does it block a future turn, and does it still leave a fallback route?
Quick takeaways
- Work from corners to center when the grid is tight.
- Reset early if the main lane is cut off.
- Keep one flexible path open until the final move.
