Walker

Here’s a Tiger in the Woods! This genre reminds me of video game puzzles where you slide on ice 🧊 ⛸️

Rules: Starting from any empty cell, draw a path through the centers of all empty cells. The path must always travel in a straight line until it reaches a black cell or the edge of the grid before turning or stopping. Two perpendicular line segments may intersect each other, but not turn at their intersection or otherwise overlap. Neither the starting point nor the ending point of the path may be intersected.

Here’s a GAPP 101 that applies to the example and main puzzle: Each puzzle has two dead ends, which must be the start and end of the path. Begin by determining which is the start; both the example and GAPP have the same configuration that can’t be at the end of the path when visiting all the cells.
