## Acknowledgements and Changes
Thanks to @Karoo for recording a rather nasty bug, now fixed! 

**2023-07-10** Thanks to @dohz for finding transcription and encoding errors, now fixed.
**2023-11-28** Thanks to @SpectriaLimina for finding a transcription error in the seventh puzzle (now truly fixed) and to @Noneuclidery for suggesting rule clarification.
**2023-12-01** Hex end mazes page merged into Rook End mazes, now using the standard &V=hex variant
**2023-12-20** Start and Finish tiles are required now, a missing constraint found by @PinkHoodie
**2023-12-24** The ´´dead-end´´ rule was extracted to a variant, for path genres, and its styling improved. The ´´walls´´ variant now works as expected.
**2024-03-12** A bug whereby the ´´walls´´ variant conflicted with loop checking was corrected for most genres, thanks to a great test case sent by @PinkHoodie - thank you!
**2024-03-13** @PinkHoodie made great use of the ´´walls´´ variant in two puzzles, one for the Enigmarch "shield" prompt.
**2024-11-30** :::puzzletters @PinkHoodie created 1 [rook-end-mazes] (classic) puzzle under the 16x6 motto!
