Play Zip Online
Unlimited LinkedIn-style Zip path puzzles. Draw one line from 1 through every cell in number order — no crossing walls. New board anytime, two sizes, three difficulties.
How to Play Zip
The goal: draw a single continuous line that starts at 1, visits the numbered cells in order, and passes through every cell on the board exactly once — without ever crossing a wall.
Start at 1
Begin the line on the cell numbered 1.
Numbers in order
Pass through 1 → 2 → 3 … in ascending sequence.
Fill every cell
The line must cover all cells exactly once.
No crossing walls
Move up/down/left/right; never cross a wall.
Tap the 1 and drag to draw your line (mouse or finger). Drag back over the line to undo a step. The Hint button rewinds to your last correct move and points to the next cell.
Zip Strategy: How to Solve Faster
Zip is pure logic — these techniques find the forced moves.
1. Work the corners and edges
A corner cell has only two exits, so its part of the path is often forced. Lock those in first, then follow the chain inward.
2. Spot the choke points
Where walls funnel the grid into a narrow corridor, the line has only one way through. Find these and the route writes itself.
3. Dead ends tell you something
If a cell would be left with no unused exit, your line is wrong — every cell must stay reachable until you visit it.
4. Fill every square
Because the line covers the whole grid, count as you go: a cell you can only reach now must be taken now.
