About Zip #508
- Zip #508 is a 7×7 grid with 16 numbered checkpoints and 0 walls.
- The path runs from 1 to 16 and must cover all 49 squares.
- LinkedIn rates it Hard.
- It has 16 checkpoints, more than the average of 9.7 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 16, 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 11 are not consecutive, so they cannot be linked directly and checkpoints 1 and 9 are not consecutive, so they cannot be linked directly, which leaves checkpoint 9 at R3C6 with only two exits: R3C6 links to R3C5 and R3C7.
- Checkpoints 6 and 14 are not consecutive, so they cannot be linked directly and checkpoints 3 and 6 are not consecutive, so they cannot be linked directly, which leaves checkpoint 6 at R6C3 with only two exits: R6C3 links to R5C3 and R7C3.
