Each step takes you from one number to the next, with rows counted from the top and columns from the left. “3 down, 2 left” means three cells down, then two cells to the left.
- From 1 (row 2, column 6): 4 down, 1 left, 1 down to reach 2 in row 7, column 5.
- No choice at row 6, column 5: its walls leave it only two open neighbors (row 6, column 6 and row 7, column 5), so the path must enter through one and leave through the other.
- From 2 (row 7, column 5): 2 right, 6 up, 2 left, 2 down, 2 left, 1 down to reach 3 in row 4, column 3.
- No choice at row 7, column 7: as a corner, it has only two neighbors (row 7, column 6 and row 6, column 7), so the path must enter through one and leave through the other.
- From 3 (row 4, column 3): 2 right to reach 4 in row 4, column 5.
- Another cell hemmed in by walls at row 4, column 5: again the path must link it to both of its open neighbors (row 4, column 4 and row 5, column 5).
- From 4 (row 4, column 5): 1 down, 2 left, 1 down, 1 right to reach 5 in row 6, column 4.
- Another cell hemmed in by walls at row 5, column 3: again the path must link it to both of its open neighbors (row 5, column 4 and row 6, column 3).
- From 5 (row 6, column 4): 1 down, 3 left, 1 up, 1 right to reach 6 in row 6, column 2.
- From 6 (row 6, column 2): 1 up, 1 left, 1 up, 1 right, 1 up, 1 left, 2 up, 1 right, 1 down, 1 right, 1 up to reach 7 in row 1, column 3.
- Another cell hemmed in by walls at row 2, column 3: again the path must link it to both of its open neighbors (row 2, column 2 and row 1, column 3).
- From 7 (row 1, column 3): 1 right, 1 down to reach 8 in row 2, column 4, where the path ends.

How to play Zip
- Start on the cell marked 1.
- Visit the numbered cells in order — 1, 2, 3 … up to the last number, where the path ends.
- Move up, down, left or right; never diagonally, and never through a wall.
- Fill every cell of the grid exactly once.
