LinkedIn Zip #468

LinkedIn Zip #468 is the LinkedIn Zip daily for June 28, 2026. Zip is LinkedIn's path puzzle: draw one continuous route through a 7×7 grid, visit every cell exactly once, hit 12 numbered checkpoints in order, and navigate around 0 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.

This 7×7 Zip route visits all 49 cells once, hits 12 checkpoints in order, and respects 0 walls:

1→2 (10 cells, R2C4→R5C2); 2→3 (3 cells, R5C2→R5C4); 3→4 (5 cells, R5C4→R3C2); 4→5 (2 cells, R3C2→R2C2); 5→6 (4 cells, R2C2→R3C4); 6→7 (11 cells, R3C4→R5C6); 7→8 (2 cells, R5C6→R6C6); 8→9 (11 cells, R6C6→R6C2); 9→10 (3 cells, R6C2→R6C4); 10→11 (6 cells, R6C4→R3C6); 11→12 (2 cells, R3C6→R2C6)

Checkpoints sit close together on the grid — short numbered hops still need full-cell coverage between them without revisiting squares.

1. Hop 1Opening routeCheckpoint 1 → 2 (10 cells)

   Corridor insight

   10 cells link checkpoint 1 at R2C4 to checkpoint 2 at R5C2 with open corridors (no walls on this segment).

   Solving note

   Opening route: Ask which walls block a shorter line to checkpoint 2.

2. Hop 2Mid-board sweepCheckpoint 2 → 3 (3 cells)

   Corridor insight

   Tight 2-cell hop — checkpoints 4 and 5 sit near each other; still visit every intervening cell exactly once.

   Solving note

   Checkpoint bridge: Ask which walls block a shorter line to checkpoint 5.

   11 cells link checkpoint 6 at R3C4 to checkpoint 7 at R5C6 with open corridors (no walls on this segment).

   Solving note

   Final sweep: Ask which walls block a shorter line to checkpoint 7.

7. Hop 7Verifier hopCheckpoint 7 → 8 (2 cells)

   Corridor insight

   Tight 2-cell hop — checkpoints 7 and 8 sit near each other; still visit every intervening cell exactly once.

   Solving note

   Verifier hop: Ask which walls block a shorter line to checkpoint 8.

8. Hop 8Endgame linkCheckpoint 8 → 9 (11 cells)

   Corridor insight

   11 cells link checkpoint 8 at R6C6 to checkpoint 9 at R6C2 with open corridors (no walls on this segment).

   Solving note

   Endgame link: Ask which walls block a shorter line to checkpoint 9.

9. Hop 9Hop 9Checkpoint 9 → 10 (3 cells)

   Corridor insight

   Tight 3-cell hop — checkpoints 9 and 10 sit near each other; still visit every intervening cell exactly once.

   Solving note

   Hop 9: Ask which walls block a shorter line to checkpoint 10.

10. Hop 10Hop 10Checkpoint 10 → 11 (6 cells)

    Corridor insight

    6 cells link checkpoint 10 at R6C4 to checkpoint 11 at R3C6 with open corridors (no walls on this segment).

    Solving note

    Hop 10: Ask which walls block a shorter line to checkpoint 11.

11. Hop 11Hop 11Checkpoint 11 → 12 (2 cells)

    Corridor insight

    Tight 2-cell hop — checkpoints 11 and 12 sit near each other; still visit every intervening cell exactly once.

    Solving note

    Hop 11: Ask which walls block a shorter line to checkpoint 12.

Teach verification by checkpoint hops: after segment 11, every cell is visited once, walls intact, final cell holds checkpoint 12.

Phase 1: Start at checkpoint 1 (R2C4) on this 7×7 grid with 12 checkpoints and 0 walls. Segment 1: Visit checkpoint 2 at R5C2 via 10 cells from checkpoint 1. 10 cells link checkpoint 1 at R2C4 to checkpoint 2 at R5C2 with open corridors (no walls on this segment). Segment 2: Visit checkpoint 3 at R5C4 via 3 cells from checkpoint 2. Tight 3-cell hop — checkpoints 2 and 3 sit near each other; still visit every intervening cell exactly once. Segment 3: Visit checkpoint 4 at R3C2 via 5 cells from checkpoint 3. 5 cells link checkpoint 3 at R5C4 to checkpoint 4 at R3C2 with open corridors (no walls on this segment). Segment 4: Visit checkpoint 5 at R2C2 via 2 cells from checkpoint 4. Tight 2-cell hop — checkpoints 4 and 5 sit near each other; still visit every intervening cell exactly once. Segment 5: Visit checkpoint 6 at R3C4 via 4 cells from checkpoint 5. 4 cells link checkpoint 5 at R2C2 to checkpoint 6 at R3C4 with open corridors (no walls on this segment).

Segment 7: Visit checkpoint 8 at R6C6 via 2 cells from checkpoint 7. Tight 2-cell hop — checkpoints 7 and 8 sit near each other; still visit every intervening cell exactly once. Segment 8: Visit checkpoint 9 at R6C2 via 11 cells from checkpoint 8. 11 cells link checkpoint 8 at R6C6 to checkpoint 9 at R6C2 with open corridors (no walls on this segment). Segment 9: Visit checkpoint 10 at R6C4 via 3 cells from checkpoint 9. Tight 3-cell hop — checkpoints 9 and 10 sit near each other; still visit every intervening cell exactly once. Segment 10: Visit checkpoint 11 at R3C6 via 6 cells from checkpoint 10. 6 cells link checkpoint 10 at R6C4 to checkpoint 11 at R3C6 with open corridors (no walls on this segment). Segment 11: Visit checkpoint 12 at R2C6 via 2 cells from checkpoint 11. Tight 2-cell hop — checkpoints 11 and 12 sit near each other; still visit every intervening cell exactly once. Complete: Hamiltonian path covers all 49 cells, checkpoints 1–12 in order, ending on checkpoint 12 at R2C6.

Checkpoints sit close together on the grid — short numbered hops still need full-cell coverage between them without revisiting squares.

This 7×7 board has 12 checkpoints (1@R2C4, 2@R5C2, 3@R5C4, 4@R3C2, 5@R2C2, 6@R3C4, 7@R5C6, 8@R6C6, 9@R6C2, 10@R6C4, 11@R3C6, 12@R2C6) and 0 walls. The solution path covers 49 cells in 11 checkpoint hops: 1→2 (10 cells, R2C4→R5C2); 2→3 (3 cells, R5C2→R5C4); 3→4 (5 cells, R5C4→R3C2); 4→5 (2 cells, R3C2→R2C2); 5→6 (4 cells, R2C2→R3C4); 6→7 (11 cells, R3C4→R5C6); 7→8 (2 cells, R5C6→R6C6); 8→9 (11 cells, R6C6→R6C2); 9→10 (3 cells, R6C2→R6C4); 10→11 (6 cells, R6C4→R3C6); 11→12 (2 cells, R3C6→R2C6). Checkpoints sit close together on the grid — short numbered hops still need full-cell coverage between them without revisiting squares.
