What do you think about the [Arrow Maze puzzle](https://community.rapyd.net/t/puzzle-12-arrow-maze/17204)? It seems to be a bit tricky to solve, yes?

Quite, I’ve been working on it for hours and I’m not convinced that I’ve made much progress. When is it expiring?

A lot of guesswork, reaching dead ends and then having to go back loads

It was a bit tricky, but I do believe I found a solution. However, when attempting to submit it in the solution page, it shows as an incorrect answer.
Is there more than one possible solution ?

The times are listed #hack-the-galaxy:official-rules but I believe this one stays on until July 10.

No. Just one possible solution. Good luck!

It was a lot of fun! I’ve never seen a puzzle with this mechanics, took me some time to understand how to approach it but once it clicked, it kept me fully engaged until i solved it! Also for those asking if the password input is broken… I submitted my answer just fine with success 🙂 so it seems to be working!

Same here. I sat there scratching my head for longer than I’d like to admit, but it wasn’t so hard after it clicked.

I wrote a program to go through the maze 😛
Seemed like too many variables to solve it with just pen and paper.
But I did like it and already waiting for the next one. 🙂

I’m too lazy to actually complete the puzzle, just found five out of six letters that had to be correct and then guessed the last letter lol

Got there on my 3rd try, but kept struggling on where to put the 2.

I’d say working backwards was my solution.

It sure was. Had to go to sleep and come back with a refreshed mind and solved it.

Hardest one so far, at least for me. Any of the earlier puzzles took me an hour tops, yesterday I’ve spent on arrows like 2h only to come up with an incorrect solution. But I probably made a mistake early on and rendered the puzzle unsolvable, will try again from the scratch. All the arrows make my head spin though lol.

Started doing it by hand, got frustrated and wrote a program to solve it 👍 fun puzzle though!

Hardest one by far! I’m still struggling with it with so many dead ends. Any tips? 😓

Using Depth First Search progression method, I guess.
