Puzzle 507 



This BrainBashers safe has a rather unusual control panel.

In order to open the safe, you have to press every single square once only, in the correct sequence, ending on the square marked E.

Each square indicates which square to press next, for example, 2U means move up 2 squares and 3R means move right 3 squares.

Can you determine which square you must start with?

Note: this puzzle is not interactive, and the safe buttons cannot be clicked.

Note: BrainBashers has a Dark Mode option. For BrainBashers, I'd recommend not using your browser's built-in dark mode, or any dark mode extensions (sometimes you can add an exception for a specific website).
