Zip — Daily Path Puzzle

One puzzle. Five minutes. A new one tomorrow.

Zip is a daily path puzzle. Start at 1, end at the last number, and visit every cell on the grid exactly once. Simple rules — deeper than they look.

Built for the morning-coffee crowd. No endless feeds. No engagement loops. Just a tidy little brain warm-up that resets at midnight.

WHAT MAKES ZIP DIFFERENT

🎯 One fresh puzzle every morning, hand-tuned for fairness — never a guess, always a solve. 🔥 Streaks that actually mean something. Miss a day, lose your streak — just like the gym. 🧩 100+ progression levels from cosy 5×5s up to chewy 8×8s with walls and twists. ✨ Clean, minimal board. No clutter, no pop-ups mid-puzzle. 🚫 No sign-up required. Open the app, draw a path, you're done. 🌙 Light & dark themes that actually look good in both. 🔒 Your puzzle progress lives on your device. We don't sell your data — full stop.

HOW IT PLAYS

1. Touch the cell marked 1.
2. Drag through neighbouring cells in order — 1 → 2 → 3 → ... → N.
3. Cross every cell on the board. No diagonals, no skips, no walls.
4. End on the last numbered cell. Done. Take your win.
