Solving Tip: Divide the Grid Into Sections

Walls in Zip effectively split the grid into connected regions. Before you start drawing, take a moment to see how the walls divide the 6×6 board. If a wall cuts off a group of cells, your path must enter and exit that section — and it needs to visit every cell inside while doing so. Think about which numbered waypoints fall inside each section. The path has to reach those waypoints in order, which tells you roughly when the path will enter and leave each region. This divide-and-conquer approach turns one complex puzzle into several simpler mini-puzzles. It is the technique that separates fast solvers from the rest. Today's daily puzzle is shared by all players, so try this approach and compare your time.
