Overview
LinkedIn Zip #467 is the LinkedIn Zip daily for June 27, 2026. Zip is LinkedIn's path puzzle: draw one continuous route through a 8×8 grid, visit every cell exactly once, hit 8 numbered checkpoints in order, and navigate around 28 walls. This page includes the live board, a solved-board view, and a step-by-step Solution walkthrough. Difficulty: Hard. Estimated solve time: 6–10 min.
Answer
This 8×8 Zip route visits all 64 cells once, hits 8 checkpoints in order, and respects 28 walls:
1→2 (21 cells, R7C7→R5C7); 2→3 (2 cells, R5C7→R6C7); 3→4 (3 cells, R6C7→R5C6); 4→5 (12 cells, R5C6→R2C2); 5→6 (14 cells, R2C2→R3C2); 6→7 (4 cells, R3C2→R4C2); 7→8 (14 cells, R4C2→R4C3)
Many blocked edges narrow your options early — map wall bottlenecks before tracing toward the next numbered checkpoint.
Analysis
Case file LinkedIn Zip #467: 8×8 path puzzle, 8 checkpoint exhibits, 28 blocked edges. Full trace covers 64 cells. Hop summary: 1→2 (21 cells, R7C7→R5C7); 2→3 (2 cells, R5C7→R6C7); 3→4 (3 cells, R6C7→R5C6); 4→5 (12 cells, R5C6→R2C2); 5→6 (14 cells, R2C2→R3C2); 6→7 (4 cells, R3C2→R4C2); 7→8 (14 cells, R4C2→R4C3).
Board spotlight: Many blocked edges narrow your options early — map wall bottlenecks before tracing toward the next numbered checkpoint. Wall count 28 on 8×8 shapes which corridors stay open between numbered cells.
Exhibit 1: 1→2, 21 cells. 21 cells link checkpoint 1 at R7C7 to checkpoint 2 at R5C7 with open corridors (no walls on this segment).
Exhibit 2: 2→3, 2 cells. Tight 2-cell hop — checkpoints 2 and 3 sit near each other; still visit every intervening cell exactly once.
Exhibit 3: 3→4, 3 cells. Tight 3-cell hop — checkpoints 3 and 4 sit near each other; still visit every intervening cell exactly once.
Exhibit 4: 4→5, 12 cells. 12 cells link checkpoint 4 at R5C6 to checkpoint 5 at R2C2 with open corridors (no walls on this segment).
Exhibit 5: 5→6, 14 cells. 14 cells link checkpoint 5 at R2C2 to checkpoint 6 at R3C2 with open corridors (no walls on this segment).
Exhibit 6: 6→7, 4 cells. 4 cells link checkpoint 6 at R3C2 to checkpoint 7 at R4C2 with open corridors (no walls on this segment).
Exhibit 7: 7→8, 14 cells. 14 cells link checkpoint 7 at R4C2 to checkpoint 8 at R4C3 with open corridors (no walls on this segment).
Verdict: 64-cell Hamiltonian path satisfies checkpoint order and wall constraints. Case closed.
Checkpoint hops
Corridor insight
Corridor A — 1→2: 21 cells link checkpoint 1 at R7C7 to checkpoint 2 at R5C7 with open corridors (no walls on this segment).
Solving note
Evidence: 21 cells, endpoints R7C7 → R5C7.
Corridor insight
Corridor B — 2→3: Tight 2-cell hop — checkpoints 2 and 3 sit near each other; still visit every intervening cell exactly once.
Solving note
Evidence: 2 cells, endpoints R5C7 → R6C7.
Corridor insight
Corridor C — 3→4: Tight 3-cell hop — checkpoints 3 and 4 sit near each other; still visit every intervening cell exactly once.
Solving note
Evidence: 3 cells, endpoints R6C7 → R5C6.
Corridor insight
Corridor D — 4→5: 12 cells link checkpoint 4 at R5C6 to checkpoint 5 at R2C2 with open corridors (no walls on this segment).
Solving note
Evidence: 12 cells, endpoints R5C6 → R2C2.
Corridor insight
Corridor E — 5→6: 14 cells link checkpoint 5 at R2C2 to checkpoint 6 at R3C2 with open corridors (no walls on this segment).
Solving note
Evidence: 14 cells, endpoints R2C2 → R3C2.
Corridor insight
Corridor F — 6→7: 4 cells link checkpoint 6 at R3C2 to checkpoint 7 at R4C2 with open corridors (no walls on this segment).
Solving note
Evidence: 4 cells, endpoints R3C2 → R4C2.
Corridor insight
Corridor G — 7→8: 14 cells link checkpoint 7 at R4C2 to checkpoint 8 at R4C3 with open corridors (no walls on this segment).
Solving note
Evidence: 14 cells, endpoints R4C2 → R4C3.
Verification
Evidence supports segment order 1→2 (21 cells), 2→3 (2 cells), 3→4 (3 cells), 4→5 (12 cells), 5→6 (14 cells), 6→7 (4 cells), 7→8 (14 cells). Alternative corridors between checkpoints either cross walls or leave unreachable cell islands.
Solve path
Phase 1: Start at checkpoint 1 (R7C7) on this 8×8 grid with 8 checkpoints and 28 walls. Segment 1: Visit checkpoint 2 at R5C7 via 21 cells from checkpoint 1. 21 cells link checkpoint 1 at R7C7 to checkpoint 2 at R5C7 with open corridors (no walls on this segment). Segment 2: Visit checkpoint 3 at R6C7 via 2 cells from checkpoint 2. Tight 2-cell hop — checkpoints 2 and 3 sit near each other; still visit every intervening cell exactly once. Segment 3: Visit checkpoint 4 at R5C6 via 3 cells from checkpoint 3. Tight 3-cell hop — checkpoints 3 and 4 sit near each other; still visit every intervening cell exactly once. Segment 4: Visit checkpoint 5 at R2C2 via 12 cells from checkpoint 4. 12 cells link checkpoint 4 at R5C6 to checkpoint 5 at R2C2 with open corridors (no walls on this segment). Segment 5: Visit checkpoint 6 at R3C2 via 14 cells from checkpoint 5. 14 cells link checkpoint 5 at R2C2 to checkpoint 6 at R3C2 with open corridors (no walls on this segment). Segment 6: Visit checkpoint 7 at R4C2 via 4 cells from checkpoint 6. 4 cells link checkpoint 6 at R3C2 to checkpoint 7 at R4C2 with open corridors (no walls on this segment). Segment 7: Visit checkpoint 8 at R4C3 via 14 cells from checkpoint 7. 14 cells link checkpoint 7 at R4C2 to checkpoint 8 at R4C3 with open corridors (no walls on this segment). Complete: Hamiltonian path covers all 64 cells, checkpoints 1–8 in order, ending on checkpoint 8 at R4C3.
Pattern
Many blocked edges narrow your options early — map wall bottlenecks before tracing toward the next numbered checkpoint.

Segment chain 1→2 (21 cells), 2→3 (2 cells), 3→4 (3 cells), 4→5 (12 cells), 5→6 (14 cells), 6→7 (4 cells), 7→8 (14 cells) is the only wall-respecting order that visits all 64 cells.
Dense walls eliminate straight lines between several checkpoint pairs.

Solution
This 8×8 board has 8 checkpoints (1@R7C7, 2@R5C7, 3@R6C7, 4@R5C6, 5@R2C2, 6@R3C2, 7@R4C2, 8@R4C3) and 28 walls. The solution path covers 64 cells in 7 checkpoint hops: 1→2 (21 cells, R7C7→R5C7); 2→3 (2 cells, R5C7→R6C7); 3→4 (3 cells, R6C7→R5C6); 4→5 (12 cells, R5C6→R2C2); 5→6 (14 cells, R2C2→R3C2); 6→7 (4 cells, R3C2→R4C2); 7→8 (14 cells, R4C2→R4C3). Many blocked edges narrow your options early — map wall bottlenecks before tracing toward the next numbered checkpoint.
