Brainteaser 8

What is the maximum number of straight lines you can draw between 9 evenly spaced dots in a 3×3 grid (like the one shown above) without lifting your pencil and without going over any lines? Any line connecting two dots counts as one individual line. Use only horizontal and vertical lines, no diagonals.

When you post your answer here, you cannot just post the number of lines … you must also describe the path your pencil took, using the letters on the diagram. For example, A – B – C – F – I and so on.
