Puzzle 598. A18781

Let's now ask for more terms for an already studied sequence of integers, A187871 by several people.

1, 12, 123, 1234, 14325, 143256, 1234765, 12347658, 123476589, 10123476589

This sequence is defined as the smallest number that is formed by arranging the decimal numbers "1", "2", ..., "n" in some order so that the sum of every pair of adjacent numbers "i" "j" is prime.

Q. Can you send more terms?
