Goal of Hidato:

Fill in a grid with a series of consecutive numbers that connect each other horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Yesterday I posted New record for minimally clued 5x5 Hidato, asking for any 4-clue 5x5 Hidato with a unique solution.

However, none of the answers (or trivial transformations thereof) so far has an extra property my puzzle has: all 4 clues are single digit numbers, i.e. the four numbers given are between 1 and 9 inclusive. Can you find one?
