FEED THE FOXES
(click here for a PDF version)
These foxes thought that they’d find food in this grid, but now they’re frustrated! Arrange the lettered pieces, without rotating or reflecting them, to fill the empty grid spaces, and then move each fox the number of cells indicated to help it find what it wants to eat. Foxes may only move horizontally or vertically (not diagonally), but their paths may turn. No fox will cross the path of another fox or retrace its own path. Not all cells will be visited by foxes.
