ROUTE field guide
Spatial Reasoning Skills Used in a ROUTE Field
Break down forced cells, corridor allocation, region splitting, and global coverage.
Forced cells reduce uncertainty
Cells beside edges, defenders, or enclosed targets often have only one useful owner.
Paths become boundaries
Every drawn line becomes a wall for the remaining pairs.
Global checks matter
The best local connection may be globally wrong; inspect the entire field after major segments.
Try it on a field
Open ROUTE on iPhone and change one path at a time. Every playable field is solver-validated, so a failure is useful evidence about corridor ownership, endpoint access, or coverage.
