Help the Duckling Find the Mother Duck — Level 2

The straightest route at this level. Forty-nine squares but only 26 changes of direction, so the way through travels in long runs rather than jinking from cell to cell — easier both to hold in your head and to draw. A good sheet for a child who can find the way but whose pencil still wanders.

Ducklings follow the first moving thing they see after hatching, usually their mother, and walk after her in a line. This is called imprinting, and it makes the picture easy to understand: the little one has fallen behind and needs to catch up. The route travels in long straight runs, which also makes the pencil work kinder than on most sheets here.

There is exactly one way through: no loops, and no square cut off from the rest.
