Quick answers about LinkedIn Zip and our daily walkthroughs.
What is LinkedIn Zip?
LinkedIn Zip is LinkedIn's daily one-stroke logic puzzle. You draw a single continuous path that visits every numbered node in order, without ever crossing your own line or any wall. A fresh puzzle drops every day at midnight Pacific time inside the LinkedIn Games hub.
What time does LinkedIn release a new Zip puzzle?
LinkedIn rolls out a new Zip puzzle every day at 00:00 Pacific Time (UTC−8 in winter, UTC−7 in summer) — that's roughly 03:00 ET, 08:00 GMT, 09:00 CET, and 10:00 EET. We post today's solution within minutes of that drop on this page and on the AWA Games YouTube channel.
How do I solve today's LinkedIn Zip puzzle?
Watch the embedded video at the top of this page for the step-by-step path. Each daily walkthrough is published within minutes of LinkedIn's drop, with the full move sequence shown frame by frame. Pause anytime to copy the sequence into your own play.
Are there hints or tips for LinkedIn Zip?
The cleanest hint is the path itself — watch our walkthrough for today's puzzle, pause at the move you're stuck on, and resume your own attempt from there. For general technique, work backwards from constrained corners and trace a likely safe corridor before committing; guessing into dead ends is the #1 streak-killer.

Where can I find past LinkedIn Zip answers?
Every solved puzzle lives in the Zip Puzzle Index further down this page. Each entry links to a dedicated answer page with the full path video, step-by-step walkthrough, and FAQ for that specific board, going back to the launch of LinkedIn Zip.
Do I need a LinkedIn account to play Zip?
Yes — Zip is part of LinkedIn Games and only loads inside the LinkedIn mobile app and on the LinkedIn website, so you need a free LinkedIn account to play. You don't need any LinkedIn account to use AWA Games though; our walkthroughs are public and require no signup.
Is LinkedIn Zip free to play?
Yes. LinkedIn Zip is free for every LinkedIn user with no premium tier, and the AWA Games walkthroughs on this site are also free with no signup, no paywall, and no ads inside the path solution video itself.
How is LinkedIn Zip different from Queens, Tango, and Crossclimb?
All four are LinkedIn Games daily puzzles, but each tests a different skill. Zip is one-continuous-path routing, Queens is constraint-based queen placement, Tango is binary-grid logic, and Crossclimb is a word ladder. Zip rewards spatial pattern-recognition over vocabulary or arithmetic — if you enjoy maze and routing puzzles, you'll like Zip most.
What does “cracked the Zip” mean on LinkedIn?
“Cracked the Zip” is LinkedIn's phrase for completing the daily Zip puzzle — connecting all the numbered nodes in order and filling every cell without crossing your own path. When you finish, LinkedIn shows “You cracked the Zip in X seconds”. If you're stuck, every daily puzzle on this site has a full step-by-step path video so you can crack it too.
