Solving Tip: When to Restart vs. Undo

Getting stuck halfway through a Zip puzzle is normal. The question is whether to undo a few moves or start fresh. Here is a simple rule: if you can see exactly where you went wrong, undo back to that point. If you are lost and the grid looks tangled, clear the path and start over — a fresh perspective often reveals a route you could not see before. On the 6×6 daily grid, most puzzles can be solved in under 90 seconds once you see the right path, so restarting does not cost much time. The daily puzzle is shared with every player, which means the same grid that frustrated you might click instantly on a second attempt. Stuck on today's puzzle?
