Small puzzles. Clear thinking.
Pathgrid is an experimental independent puzzle website. It provides free original number-path puzzles, a maker and printable packs.
Independent and original
Our puzzles use a common logic-game idea: connect numbered checkpoints with a single path covering every square. Pathgrid is not affiliated with LinkedIn or its games. We do not reproduce official daily puzzles.
Privacy
Pathgrid games and PDF downloads run in your browser. The site is prepared to use a dedicated Google Analytics 4 property to measure page views and basic puzzle interactions. No custom event fields include puzzle seeds, user-entered values, private data or filenames. Append ?qa=1 to exclude the current browser tab session from analytics QA; append ?qa=0 to clear the exclusion. There are no login or personal-data collection forms. Hosting providers may process basic request logs under their own policies.
Usage
You may print and share puzzle sheets for personal or non-commercial classroom use. Please share a link to this website when you recommend it. Commercial redistribution or resale of generated puzzle packs is not permitted without authorization.
What Pathgrid offers
Pathgrid is a free web game and printable puzzle maker focused on one-path grid logic. Each original board asks you to fill every square with one continuous route while visiting numbered stops in order and avoiding walls.
Can I play Zip-style puzzles without a LinkedIn account?
Yes. Pathgrid practice is free and has unlimited independent puzzles on 5×5, 6×6 and 7×7 grids. The daily challenge gives every player the same puzzle for a date, changing at 00:00 UTC. Pathgrid neither copies official LinkedIn boards nor provides access to LinkedIn accounts.
Can I make and print my own number-path puzzles?
Yes. The generator creates reproducible boards with 3–7 numbered checkpoints and an answer key. Printable packs offer 8 original PDF worksheets per grid size, with solution pages. You can select A4 or US Letter for a custom pack.
Does Pathgrid solve uploaded screenshots?
No. Pathgrid currently generates and solves its own original boards; it does not accept photos or screenshots of external puzzles.
How the puzzles are made
The generator builds a complete route through the grid, adds checkpoints and blocking walls, and uses a bounded solution search to verify uniqueness. Boards that cannot be verified are not offered for sharing or PDF export. The result is reproducible from its seed and settings.
