DESCRIPTION

ABC Path puzzle games are puzzle games where one is given a 5*5 grid which should contain a consecutive path of the letters from 'A' to 'Y' (with vertical, horizontal, diagonal, or anti-diagonal steps). The position of the letter 'A' is given, and two letters are given for each of the columns, rows, main diagonal and main anti-diagonal, which can appear anywhere there.

ABC Path can be played online at http://www.brainbashers.com/abcpath.asp .

This package is a generator for ABC Path games, and it generates a different layout with different clues for every random number generator seed.
