About Zip #560
- Zip #560 is a 6×6 grid with 12 numbered checkpoints and 0 walls.
- The path runs from 1 to 12 and must cover all 36 squares.
- It has 12 checkpoints, more than the average of 10.0 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 12, need just one.
- The corners R1C1, checkpoint 9 at R6C1, and R6C6 have just two neighbors each, so all their links are forced: R1C1 links to R2C1 and R1C2; R6C1 links to R5C1 and R6C2; R6C6 links to R5C6 and R6C5.
- Checkpoints 3 and 10 are not consecutive, so they cannot be linked directly, which leaves checkpoint 3 at R2C1 and checkpoint 10 at R3C1 with only two exits each: R2C1 links to R1C1 and R2C2; R3C1 links to R4C1 and R3C2.
- Checkpoints 5 and 7 are not consecutive, so they cannot be linked directly, which leaves checkpoint 5 at R4C6 with only two exits: R4C6 links to R3C6 and R4C5.
