Comparison
LinkedIn Zip vs Circuit
LinkedIn Zip asks you to draw one path through numbered checkpoints. Circuit is an independent daily on the same idea — a single ordered tour that covers the whole grid — free in any browser.
Side by side
| Feature | LinkedIn Zip | Circuit |
|---|---|---|
| Daily board | One puzzle a day | One free daily, the same board worldwide |
| Practice | The day’s path | Unlimited practice from 5×5 to 8×8 |
| Walls | The numbered path | The numbered path, plus wall tiles you route around |
| Account | A LinkedIn account | Optional. The board plays in the browser without signing in |
| Past boards | The current day’s puzzle | A 60-day archive with the Arcade Pass |
| Price | Free with LinkedIn | Free to play. Arcade Pass is $4.99 once, for extra hints, the archive, and expert practice |
| Other puzzles | Zip, in LinkedIn’s games | Thirteen daily puzzles in the same browser |
What's the same
Both draw one continuous wire that hits the numbered checkpoints in order and visits every cell exactly once, with no diagonals and no crossings. Finishing with a cell left empty means the route is wrong.
How Circuit differs
Circuit adds unlimited practice from 5×5 to 8×8, a daily archive, and boards with wall tiles you must route around. It runs in the browser with no login, next to twelve other daily puzzles.
Verdict
If Zip is your warm-up, Circuit is the same one-line tour with more boards and an archive.
Free and the Arcade Pass
The daily board and ordinary practice are free. The optional Arcade Pass is a one-time $4.99 purchase for extra hints, a 60-day archive, and expert practice.
