Easy maze 1

A small maze, ten cells by ten, with one way through and no loops anywhere in it. The wrong turns are many and short: you notice a mistake after two or three cells, which is what makes this the size to give to someone who has never finished one.

About this puzzle

The generator builds a perfect maze: every cell is reachable, there are no loops, and there is exactly one route from the entrance to the exit. At the easy level it favours many short dead ends, so a wrong turn is obvious quickly, and the exit sits on a route a little over half as long as the longest the grid could hold. The solution prints on the second page.

The way through this particular maze is 17 cells long and passes 11 junctions, with 29 dead ends waiting on either side of it.
