Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Went through it pretty quick and got 25.  Quite a few I hadn't seen before and had to take my best guess.

24/30... felt like I got more guesses wrong than right. The ones where they give the definition and you pick the word all had words I recognized, but the others I rarely recognized.
