Is this the same as the LinkedIn Zip game?

The rules are identical: one continuous path, every cell covered exactly once, numbered cells visited in ascending order. The boards here are freshly generated, so you can play as many as you like instead of waiting for the next daily puzzle.

Is Zip Game Unlimited free?

Yes. No account, no download, no daily limit. Every board is generated in your browser.

Can two numbers touch each other in Zip?

They can sit side by side, but your path must step on them in numeric order. If 4 and 5 are neighbours and you arrive at 5 first, the route is wrong even though the line looks continuous.

What is a good time for a 6×6 Zip?

Most players finish a 6×6 board in 40 to 90 seconds. Under 45 seconds without backtracking is fast; the LinkedIn daily puzzle gives you no clock at all, so accuracy matters more than speed.

Zip Game Unlimited

Endless Zip boards — one continuous path through every cell, numbers in order. Same rules as the LinkedIn daily Zip, except you can keep playing after you finish one.

Drag from a starting cell — the path follows your finger.

How to play Zip

A Zip board is a grid with a handful of numbered cells scattered across it. You draw a single unbroken line that starts anywhere, ends anywhere, and passes through every cell exactly once — and along the way it has to step on cell 1, then 2, then 3, in that order. There are no walls and no overlaps. When the grid is full and the numbers were visited in sequence, the board is solved.

On desktop, press and drag. On a phone, drag with one finger — dragging backwards along the existing line erases it, so mistakes cost a second rather than a restart.

Rules at a glance

One path. It cannot branch, loop or cross itself.
Every cell is covered exactly once — no gaps, no revisits.
Numbered cells are visited in ascending order: 1, 2, 3, … to the last number.
Moves are orthogonally adjacent only (up, down, left, right — never diagonal).

Three things that make Zip easier

Start from a corner. A corner cell has only two neighbours, so whichever way the path leaves it, the other side is decided for you. Boards with a numbered corner are usually the fastest to crack.

Work backwards from the last number. The segment between the highest number and the end of the path is often short and forced; solving it first shrinks the rest of the board.

Count the cells you are sealing off. The classic Zip failure is drawing yourself into a pocket — a connected region that is no longer reachable from the remaining path. Before you commit a long run along an edge, check that whatever is left over is still one connected blob.

Zip Unlimited vs the LinkedIn daily Zip

The daily Zip gives you one board a day and a streak to protect. That is great for a habit and terrible for practice, because when you get stuck you have nothing to learn on. Unlimited mode inverts that: the boards never run out, nothing is scored, and you can replay a shape you just failed on. Same rules, no stakes.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same game as LinkedIn Zip?

Same rules, different boards. The puzzles here are generated fresh in your browser, so the answer is never a secret from a database — every board is solvable by construction.

Do I need an account?

No. There is nothing to sign up for, nothing stored, and no daily cap.

Why did my complete path get rejected?

Almost always the number order. A path can cover the whole grid and still be wrong if it reached 6 before 5. The message under the board tells you which rule broke.

Are the boards unique?

No — a grid usually has more than one valid path. Any complete path that respects the number order counts as a win, so if you find a different route than ours, you solved it.
