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 5, column 6): 1 right to reach 2 in row 5, column 7.
- From 2 (row 5, column 7): 1 right, 1 down to reach 3 in row 6, column 8.
- From 3 (row 6, column 8): 2 down, 1 left to reach 4 in row 8, column 7.
- No choice at row 8, column 8: as a corner, it has only two neighbors (row 7, column 8 and row 8, column 7), so the path must enter through one and leave through the other.
- From 4 (row 8, column 7): 2 up, 2 left, 3 up, 2 left, 1 up to reach 5 in row 2, column 3.
- From 5 (row 2, column 3): 1 left, 2 down to reach 6 in row 4, column 2.
- From 6 (row 4, column 2): 2 down, 1 right to reach 7 in row 6, column 3.
- From 7 (row 6, column 3): 2 up to reach 8 in row 4, column 3.
- From 8 (row 4, column 3): 1 right, 3 down, 1 right to reach 9 in row 7, column 5.
- From 9 (row 7, column 5): 1 right to reach 10 in row 7, column 6.
- From 10 (row 7, column 6): 1 down, 3 left, 1 up, 1 left to reach 11 in row 7, column 2.
- From 11 (row 7, column 2): 1 down, 1 left, 1 up to reach 12 in row 7, column 1.
- From 12 (row 7, column 1): 4 up to reach 13 in row 3, column 1.
- From 13 (row 3, column 1): 2 up, 1 right to reach 14 in row 1, column 2.
- From 14 (row 1, column 2): 6 right, 1 down to reach 15 in row 2, column 8.
- From 15 (row 2, column 8): 2 down, 2 left, 1 up to reach 16 in row 3, column 6.
- From 16 (row 3, column 6): 1 right, 1 up to reach 17 in row 2, column 7.
- From 17 (row 2, column 7): 3 left to reach 18 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.
