Zip #47 Solution (November 11, 2026): Route, Decision Points and Answer

Zip #47 was the 7×7 medium board of Wednesday, November 11, 2026: 8 numbered dots, 6 walls, and one path that visits all 49 cells in order. Our solver, a line-for-line port of the app's, needed 734 search nodes to prove the path unique, which puts the board at 5 of 5 on the difficulty scale. Along the answer, 56% of the moves had only one legal continuation; the other 21 steps offered a real choice, and those are where you have to look ahead. The path turns at 57% of its cells, and its longest straight run is 7 cells. The longest leg, between two consecutive dots, is 18 cells.

Zip #47 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	5	down 1, right 1, up 1, right 1, up 1
2 → 3	4	left 3, down 1
3 → 4	18	down 5, right 1, up 3, right 1, down 3, right 2, up 1, left 1, up 1
4 → 5	3	right 2, down 1
5 → 6	11	down 1, right 1, up 3, left 3, up 1, right 1, up 1
6 → 7	3	right 1, down 1, right 1
7 → 8	4	up 2, left 2

Where the choices are: step 1 at row 2, column 2 (2 ways), step 2 at row 3, column 2 (2 ways), step 3 at row 3, column 3 (3 ways), step 4 at row 2, column 3 (2 ways), step 5 at row 2, column 4 (2 ways) and step 14 at row 6, column 1 (2 ways) and 15 more. Everywhere else only one move keeps the board solvable.
