A naughty tomcat has been causing havoc all over town. Now he's in spot B, hiding from his owner, who's currently looking for him at spot A.
His owner is determined to search every spot until she finds him, but after every one of her moves, the cat then moves to an adjacent spot to escape.
However, if the owner plans her route well, she'll be able to catch the cat on her fourth move. What should her first three moves be? Input the three letters.

The cat's owner must move either E-F-A or F-E-A. The cat's third move will leave him at either C, E, F, or H. If she's on spot A by her third move, she'll be able to get the jump on that cat and catch him on her very next move.
- UK Version
The key is to move E-F-A or F-E-A. The cat's third move must place it at C, E, F or H. If the girl is on spot A after her third move, she will be able to catch it on her next one, regardless of where the cat is.
