Watch Out for Long Paths
Level: Intermediate
The longer a path crosses the grid, the more likely it is to be blocked along the way.
The longer an escape path, the higher the odds that another arrow sits somewhere along it. Arrows with long paths are usually best cleared later, once everything in front has been cleared.
Tapping a long-path arrow too early is an easy way to lose a heart. Confirm the whole path is clear before you handle it.
