Admissible heuristic

Okay kiddo, let’s imagine you’re playing a game where there’s a bunch of squares on a board and you have to move around and get to the end.

Now, some squares might take longer to get to than others, and you want to figure out the best way to get to the end as quickly as possible.

That’s where an admissible heuristic comes in - it helps you make an educated guess on which squares will get you closer to the end faster.

Think of it like a treasure hunt - you have a list of clues that tell you where to go next, and some of those clues might be more helpful than others. An admissible heuristic is like a really good clue that points you in the right direction, and doesn’t lead you astray.

So when you’re trying to figure out the best way to get to the end of the game board, you can use an admissible heuristic to help you make the right choices and get there quicker.
