About Zip #507
- Zip #507 is a 7×7 grid with 14 numbered checkpoints and 0 walls.
- The path runs from 1 to 14 and must cover all 49 squares.
- It has 14 checkpoints, more than the average of 8.3 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- Each square is entered once and left once, so it needs two path links; only the two ends, checkpoints 1 and 14, need just one.
- The corners R1C1, R1C7, R7C1, and R7C7 have just two neighbors each, so all their links are forced: R1C1 links to R2C1 and R1C2; R1C7 links to R1C6 and R2C7; R7C1 links to R6C1 and R7C2; R7C7 links to R6C7 and R7C6.
- Checkpoints 9 and 12 are not consecutive, so they cannot be linked directly and checkpoints 7 and 12 are not consecutive, so they cannot be linked directly, which leaves checkpoint 12 at R2C4 with only two exits: R2C4 links to R1C4 and R2C3.
- Checkpoints 9 and 12 are not consecutive, so they cannot be linked directly and checkpoints 9 and 14 are not consecutive, so they cannot be linked directly, which leaves checkpoint 9 at R3C4 with only two exits: R3C4 links to R3C3 and R3C5.
