LinkedIn - Zip

What is Zip by LinkedIn?

Zip by LinkedIn is a daily logic puzzle built around one deceptively simple mission: draw a single path through the grid, pass through the numbered cells in order, and cover every empty square before the board is complete. The twist is that the grid fights back quietly. A route that feels obvious can suddenly seal off a corner, strand a number, or leave one lonely cell unreachable. Zip is less about speed and more about seeing the whole board before your path becomes a trap.

Zip by LinkedIn Game Rules

Zip is a path-building puzzle, so the battlefield is the grid. - You MUST connect the numbers in sequence: 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 and so on. - Your path MUST pass through every cell on the board. - The path is continuous, like drawing one unbroken line. - You CANNOT ignore empty cells just because the numbers are connected. - A route can look correct early but become ELIMINATED later if it traps unused squares. Think of it like this: 1 ── □ ── □ ── 2 That may connect the first two numbers, but the real question is: did it leave enough space to reach everything else? The danger is not the numbers themselves. The danger is the empty grid cells waiting to punish a careless shortcut.

2. Start drawing from 1
3. Connect the next number carefully
4. Check the whole grid before finishing
5. Complete the final sweep

Strategy & Tips

1. Start by identifying narrow corridors and corners; they often force part of the route.
2. Do not connect numbers too directly unless the surrounding cells still have an escape path.
3. Watch for grid sections that can be accidentally sealed off.
4. Treat empty cells as required targets, not background decoration.
5. If the route feels too easy, pause — Zip often hides the trap in the leftover space.
