Knight Orchard is a route-planning puzzle based on the chess knight's move. Each orchard occupies selected squares of a five-by-five board. Visit each planted square exactly once, starting from the knight's marked starting position. The start counts as the first harvested square. A knight moves two squares along one axis and one along the other. It can jump over gaps, but its landing square must belong to the orchard and must not have been visited already. The board highlights legal next landings in gold. Tap one of those squares to make the jump. Visited squares display their order in the route, while the illustrated wooden knight marks your present position. Empty ground is unavailable. The progress readout reports both harvested squares and the number of legal next jumps, making dead ends visible before you commit further. Fifty orchards contain between nine and eighteen planted squares. Every initial orchard has a complete tour. A locally legal jump can still prevent a full harvest, so consider how your move changes access to the remaining trees. There is no opponent and no requirement to capture chess pieces. Hint searches for a complete tour from the current position. If no such continuation exists, it asks you to undo one or more jumps. Undo restores the previous position and visit mask. Storybook linocut artwork, leafy colors and a carved knight give the notebook its own character. Take as much time as you need to plan a route. YOUR CHALLENGE COLLECTION All fifty challenges are available from Play. Choose any one, revisit a completed challenge or use Continue to open the last selected entry. Completion marks and settings are saved locally on the device. Continue starts that challenge from its initial arrangement; unfinished attempts are not restored. Restart asks before discarding the current attempt. After a successful challenge, you can advance to the next one or return to the collection. CLEAR CONTROLS The main menu contains exactly Pl
