Tobias navigates the word grid

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

Tobias starts traveling the maze by spelling words – starting with ‘god’ [good]. His main problem throughout the task is that he asks a lot of rhetorical questions while he’s thinking, and since questions are one of the two things that make the monitor beep, he is often penalised and must start over at the beginning of the maze. There are also several instances where Tobias travels the maze in complete silence, which also requires him to go back to the beginning. At one point, Tobias even tries travelling the board “like a game of Twister” on his hands and knees. Eventually, Tobias steps out of the maze to get an overview of all the letters, and recognises the words ‘god’ [good], ‘salt’, and ‘stilhed’ [silence], then tries to figure out how the words relate to each other. On his next attempt, he removes his ankle monitor and throws it into the finishing square; the monitor beeps just before he reaches the finishing square. Tobias finally successfully travels the maze by spelling ‘god elle’ [good or], convinced that spelling words is the way to travel the maze. Tobias clears the maze in 23 minutes 40 seconds, and earns fifth place.
