Spirals can be completed in the bold time by walking the paths through the spirals, which are almost totally one path; the only intersections are the chips. From each chip, turn 2D L R 2D 2L U L 2D and L off the chip to return to the exit.

Due to a change in [[walker]] behavior, this level became vastly more difficult in the [[MSCC|Microsoft port]]; to compensate, a thin wall was changed to a floor at (29, 13). However, some copies of the game shipped with the original Lynx level, and the difference was so staggering that the original level layout was believed to somehow be a mistake, known as "[[Spirals corruption]]". If a player's version contains the corruption, they can simply use a [[level editor]] to change the offending grid coordinate to floor. | |||

This is the [[MSCC]] version of the level. The missing wall is fairly distinct and can be seen just north of the exit. | |||
