〰️ Zip
Draw one line through every cell, visiting the numbers in order.
Start on 1 and drag through neighbouring cells. Drag back to undo a step, or tap any cell on your line to go back to it. On a keyboard, use the arrow keys.

How to Play Zip
Draw a single continuous line that:
- starts on 1 and ends on the highest number,
- passes through the numbers in order (1, 2, 3 and so on),
- moves only up, down, left or right, never diagonally, and
- visits every cell exactly once.
Every puzzle has exactly one solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as the Zip game on LinkedIn?
It follows the same simple idea of drawing one path through every cell in number order, so it will feel familiar. This is an independent version with its own puzzles and is not affiliated with LinkedIn, and you can play unlimited puzzles here.
What kind of puzzle is Zip?
Zip is a path-drawing puzzle, related to classic "Hamiltonian path" puzzles such as Hidato and Numberlink, where you have to cover a whole grid with a single route.
I've reached the last number but the puzzle isn't solved. Why?
The line must also pass through every cell. If some cells are still empty, go back and find a route that fills them before reaching the final number.
What does the hint do?
A hint removes any wrong part of your line and draws the next few correct steps. Hints are counted in your shared result.
Is my daily progress saved?
Yes. Your progress on the daily puzzle and your streak are saved in this browser on this device.

Zip Tips & Strategy
- Look at the corners first. A corner cell has only two neighbours, so the line must pass through it in a predictable way, or end there.
- Fill the edges early. Cells along the border are easy to leave stranded, and a single forgotten cell means starting that section again.
- Check the gaps between numbers. Count how many cells must be covered between two consecutive numbers; it often forces a winding route rather than a direct one.
- Avoid dead ends. Before moving on, make sure every empty cell still has at least two empty neighbours (or one, if it is the final number).
- Sweep in rows or columns. A back-and-forth "snake" through an open area covers every cell without leaving holes.
Playing Zip with Your Team
Zip is quick and very satisfying to watch, which makes it a nice shared-screen warm-up: put the daily puzzle on screen and let the team call out the next move. For a daily ritual, everyone solves the same puzzle and shares their time in your team chat.
