The zip puzzle, unlimited
Zip is a quick path puzzle: one line has to start at 1, pass through every numbered checkpoint in order and fill every single cell of the grid. It looks simple and turns tricky fast, because every shortcut leaves a gap you have to come back for.
Play zip puzzles unlimited and free on 5×5, 6×6 and 7×7 grids. Every puzzle has one solution.
How to play Zip
- Start at 1 and draw a path by dragging from cell to cell (up, down, left or right).
- The path must reach the numbers in order (1, then 2, then 3, and so on).
- It must pass through every cell of the grid exactly once and end on the highest number.
- Drag back along the path to undo, or tap a cell on the path to cut it back to there.
Zip tips
Fill corners early
A corner cell has only two neighbors, so the path must enter and leave it through those two. Corners and edges show the route before the middle does.
Don't cut off a pocket
If your path walls off a group of empty cells with no number to reach them, you will get stuck. Check that the empty cells stay connected.
Look ahead to the next number
The stretch between two numbers must use the right amount of space. If the path gets there too fast, the cells it skipped have to be filled later.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as LinkedIn Zip?
It uses the same idea, so if you play Zip on LinkedIn you already know it. Here you get unlimited puzzles. MindedGames is not affiliated with LinkedIn.
Does every puzzle have one solution?
Yes. Every grid is checked so that exactly one path fits all the numbers.
Can the path cross itself?
No. Each cell is visited once, so the path never crosses or touches back on itself.
