Zip #46 Solution (November 10, 2026): Route, Decision Points and Answer

Zip #46 was the 6×6 medium board of Tuesday, November 10, 2026: 7 numbered dots, 1 wall, and one path that visits all 36 cells in order. Our solver, a line-for-line port of the app's, needed 357 search nodes to prove the path unique, which puts the board at 5 of 5 on the difficulty scale. Along the answer, 54% of the moves had only one legal continuation; the other 16 steps offered a real choice, and those are where you have to look ahead. The path turns at 56% of its cells, and its longest straight run is 6 cells. The longest leg, between two consecutive dots, is 9 cells.

Zip #46 route, dot by dot

How many cells each leg takes and which way it runs, reading from dot 1. “Right 3” means three steps to the right.

Leg	Cells	Directions
1 → 2	4	up 2, left 1, up 1
2 → 3	3	right 1, up 1, left 1
3 → 4	7	left 1, down 2, left 1, down 2, left 1
4 → 5	7	up 3, right 1, up 1, left 2
5 → 6	9	down 5, right 3, up 1
6 → 7	5	up 1, right 1, down 2, right 1

Where the choices are: step 1 at row 5, column 6 (2 ways), step 2 at row 4, column 6 (2 ways), step 3 at row 3, column 6 (2 ways), step 4 at row 3, column 5 (3 ways), step 5 at row 2, column 5 (3 ways) and step 10 at row 2, column 4 (2 ways) and 10 more. Everywhere else only one move keeps the board solvable.
