= How to play? The Rules of the Game

The 5*5 grid must be filled with a contiguous path of the first 25 (= 5 * 5)

letters of the Latin alphabet (“A” to “Y”), in order. Moves in the path can be

diagonal, but they cannot wrap through the edges of the grid.

The position of the letter “A” is given. In addition, for every horizontal

row, vertical column, and the two diagonals, there are two letters that should

appear in them (but in any order, and with possible gaps).
