Easy maze
Easy isn’t an insult. Short corridors, fewer spiteful forks, exit you can smell from the door. Warm the hands. Then go bother hard if you still have coffee.
When
When to use
Kids beside you. Brain fried. You literally searched easy. Teaching someone the controls.
When not
When not to
You want a long fight → hard. You need a themed preschool PDF empire → not our brand.
Defaults
Assumptions
Smaller default grid, gentler branching. Still a real maze with walls — not a straight line pretending to be a puzzle.
Steps
How
- Open; walk.
- Exit shows up sooner than your pride expects.
- New maze for another gentle one, or graduate to hard.
Worked notes
Examples
- Showing a child arrow keys without tears → easy fits
- You have ninety seconds before a meeting → easy fits
Watch-outs
Gotchas
- Easy still has dead ends. Short ones.
- Printable “for kids” spam sites are loud; we stay plain ink.
- Clearing easy doesn’t mean hard will feel fair. It won’t.
Controls
Quick controls

- Show path — pencil the solution when teaching or stuck.
- Print — send the current grid to paper.
- Arrows / WASD — walk; phone: swipe or tap an open neighbor.
