Sofie navigates the word grid

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

Sofie attempts to spell the word ‘agent’, but realises that the letters do not align themselves that way in the maze. She is then able to sneak down two rows before the monitor beeps. While waiting until she can try again, Sofie maps a path for her to spell ‘agent’, then locates another word: ‘saltgnu’, which just happens to be what is spelled out on the second row of the maze. She asks Mark if saltgnus are a real animal. Convinced that the word maze has a message in it, Sofie reads every row: she translates the top row ‘godabk’ as ‘good day bk’, and the next few rows below saltgnu, which read ‘ingen’ [no], ‘eller’ [or] - along with some question marks to fill out the rows – and ‘stilhed’ [silence]. While trying to understand ‘saltgnu’, Sofie’s monitor beeps, even though she has been standing on the same square for a while. Sofie hypothesises that the monitor does not like silence, and simply walks across the maze while voicing her theory, without worrying about the letters. Sofie clears the maze in 6 minutes 21 seconds, and earns fourth place.
