Unlimited Zip, no daily cap
The daily puzzle is one board a day. This page is the opposite: pick a difficulty and play as many Zip boards as you want, one after another. Nothing to sign up for, and your streak on the daily board is never affected by practising here.
What the difficulties mean
Difficulty here is how many numbers the board hands you. Each number is a checkpoint that confirms the route so far, so fewer of them means longer stretches you have to work out unaided:
- Easy boards carry eight numbers, so you are rarely more than a few squares from the next checkpoint.
- Medium boards carry six.
- Hard boards carry five, and lean on the walls instead, so you will be routing a long way before anything confirms you were right.
Whichever you choose, the board is always solvable by logic alone. We check every one with a solver before it ships, so you never need to guess and there is never more than one answer.
