The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
How does this knight-moving puzzle work?
1 of 4: The knight starts in the top left square of the 5X5 board (which is outlined in green), and you'll need to move it around the board using the regular knight chess piece's L-shaped movement pattern.
2 of 4: If you're not familiar with that movement pattern, click on various squares to see where the knight can move. You can also use the "Sixth sense" button near the top right corner of the screen to get the game to show you one possible move.
3 of 4: The game will only let you make legal moves, and you can't move back onto any square you've already been on. (You'll know which ones you've been on since they'll be colored green.)
4 of 4: Your goal is to move the knight around until you've landed on every square exactly once. If you get stuck, you'll have to click on the "Replay" button that's near the top right corner of the screen to start over.
