Zip

Zip is the fifth game LinkedIn added to its puzzle lineup, launched in March 2025 after Queens, Pinpoint, Crossclimb and Tango. It is the quickest of the set to learn: there is one rule to follow and one line to draw.

Each day you get a small square grid with numbers in a few of its cells. You press on 1 and drag a path from cell to cell, up, down, left or right, reaching 2, then 3, and so on until the last number. The catch is that the path must cover every single cell on the board and can never cross itself. Some puzzles add thick walls between cells, and the line has to go around them.

Because the line has to fill the board, the numbers are only half the puzzle; the corners and narrow passages often decide the route. If you go wrong, you can drag back along your path to erase it, undo the last move or clear the grid. The hint button wipes the line back to your first mistake and shows the next correct step. Finishing shows your time against all players, your company and your connections, and adds to your streak.

Zip suits players who want a quick warm up before Queens or Tango, and anyone who enjoyed connect-the-dots or maze puzzles as a child but wants something that still asks you to plan ahead.
