How to play Zip Path Finder
- Start at number one. Begin the path on the cell marked 1.
- Visit numbers in order. The path must reach 2, then 3, then 4 and so on in ascending sequence.
- Cover every cell. The single path must pass through every cell of the grid exactly once.
- Move to neighbours. Extend the path only to orthogonally adjacent cells, never diagonally, and never cross itself.
Zip Path Finder strategy & tips
- Work backwards from the final number when the end is more constrained.
- Keep the path from trapping empty cells it can never return to.
- Corners and dead-ends must be entered and left in the only way possible — fill them early.
