saw a game of numbrix today. don’t understand the rules. where can i find them?

I responded:
The Numbrix Grid contains some starting numbers. From these, it is your job to fill in the missing numbers, in sequential order, going horizontally and vertically only, so that you fill in the entire grid and create a continuing path from 1 to the total number of squares in the grid. Your path cannot go in a diagonal
direction.

For example, if you have a corner that looks like:

15
12
11 10 9

Then after the 12, must go 13 horizontally and 14 vertically, so it can connect back to 15. i.e.:

15 14
12 13
11 10 9

Here, we have a partial path going sequentially from 9 to 15.

You continue this way until all the numbers are put in their cells and you can trace a continuous path from 1 to the total number of squares in the grid.

I hope this helps. Please visit:
