Think carefully about the detours the couples need to take to avoid crossing paths. They can't all just take the shortest route to each other.

Couple D-d's path to each other takes only one turn.

Couples B-b's and C-c's paths to each other take four turns. Couple A-a's path takes three turns.

Couple D-d's path to each other follows the right edge and the bottom edge. A walks straight down until just before d, then takes a left. B and C both start out by going one block to their right. Couples B-b's path wraps around beneath couple C-c's. Couple A-a's path is below B-b's.

Give it another shot with all that in mind!
