Arrow Escape level 25

About level 25

This board has 13 arrows with 22 bends between them. 3 arrows (23%) can escape at the very start; the rest are waiting on others. The deepest blocking chain is 5 steps long, so some arrows only become free after 4 rounds of clearing. The longest arrow stretches 10 units — it needs a long empty runway before it can leave.

Hints

• Scan the border first: arrows pointing outward with nothing in front of them are safe opening moves.
• The most useful opening move is the straight arrow pointing up with its head at column 7, row 1 — removing it frees 4 other arrows straight away.
• Work in rounds: clear every free arrow, then look again. Each round exposes the next layer of the 5-layer chain.
• Stuck? The bulb button highlights an arrow that can escape right now (it just costs you the three-star rating).
