How hard is the lightning maze?

It rates medium — a 95×150 grid with a 581-cell solution path and 611 dead ends. Best for ages 6+, roughly 8–15 min to solve.

Is there really only one way through the lightning maze?

Yes. Every maze on MazeDIY is generated by algorithm and checked with a path-finding pass, so there is exactly one route from start to finish.

What size should I print the lightning maze at?

It prints cleanly on standard A4 or US Letter paper. Print at 100% (no "fit to page") to keep the corridors an even width.

About the Lightning

Lightning is a giant spark of electricity that leaps across the sky during a storm. Charges build up inside a storm cloud until they suddenly jump, as a bright flash, to another cloud or down to the ground. The bolt heats the air so fast that it makes the boom of thunder. Add this printable to a storm-science lesson and trace the zigzag bolt down.
