About Zip #554
- Zip #554 is a 6×6 grid with 8 numbered checkpoints and 6 walls.
- The path runs from 1 to 8 and must cover all 36 squares.
- It has 8 checkpoints, fewer than the average of 9.4 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 8, need just one.
- The corners R1C1, R1C6, R6C1, and R6C6 have just two neighbors each, so all their links are forced: R1C1 links to R2C1 and R1C2; R1C6 links to R1C5 and R2C6; R6C1 links to R5C1 and R6C2; R6C6 links to R5C6 and R6C5.
- Walls leave R1C2 and R1C3 only two open sides each, which fixes their links: R1C2 links to R1C1 and R2C2; R1C3 links to R2C3 and R1C4.
