Plant Path: Number Puzzle
Plant Path is a free daily logic puzzle. Draw a single line from stone 1 through every numbered stone in order, filling every cell of the grid exactly once. One shared daily board for every player in the world, an unlimited ladder of levels, hints, streaks, a weekly league, and a window-sill garden of pots and flowers grown from prizes — all in the browser, no download or account.
How to play
- Start at stone 1 and drag to draw a line.
- Pass through the numbered stones in order — 1, 2, 3, and on.
- Fill every cell of the grid. The line never crosses itself, and on some boards it must flow around blocked rock cells.
- Finish on the last stone with no empty cells left.
The daily puzzle
Each day one shared board, named by its date, is generated for every player — everyone solves the same puzzle. It can be played once a day, and finishing it day after day builds a streak. Every board, daily and level alike, is proven to have exactly one solution before it is ever shown.
Coming from Zip?
If you play Zip, the daily path puzzle on LinkedIn, Plant Path will feel immediately familiar: the same core rule of one line through the numbered points in order, filling the whole grid. The differences are what it adds — an unlimited ladder of levels beyond the single daily board, rock cells the line must flow around, a hint lamp for when you're stuck, and no account or app required: it plays free in the browser. Plant Path is an independent game by AppWave LLC and is not affiliated with LinkedIn.
Frequently asked questions
What is Plant Path?
Plant Path is a free daily logic puzzle game. You draw one continuous line from stone 1 through every numbered stone in order, filling every cell of the grid exactly once. It plays in the browser with no download or account.
How do you play Plant Path?
Start at stone 1 and drag to draw a line. Pass through the numbered stones in order — 1, 2, 3 and so on — while filling every cell of the grid. The line can never cross itself, and on some boards it must flow around blocked rock cells. The puzzle is solved when the line ends on the last stone with no empty cells left.
Is there a new Plant Path puzzle every day?
Yes. One shared daily board, named by its date, is generated for every player in the world — everyone solves the same puzzle. It can be played once a day, and finishing it day after day builds a streak.
Does every Plant Path puzzle have exactly one solution?
Yes. Every board — daily and level alike — is generated and then proven to have a single unique solution before it is ever shown, so a solved board is never a lucky guess.
What are the rocks in Plant Path?
Rocks are blocked cells the line must flow around. They appear on some daily boards on a weekly rhythm and on the harder stretches of the level ladder, changing the shape of the path without changing the rules.
Is Plant Path similar to LinkedIn's Zip game?
Yes — both are single-line path puzzles with the same core rule: draw one line through the numbered points in order while filling every cell of the grid. Plant Path adds an unlimited ladder of levels alongside its shared daily board, rock cells the line must flow around, a hint lamp, and streaks. Plant Path is an independent game by AppWave LLC and is not affiliated with LinkedIn.
Can I play a Zip-style puzzle without a LinkedIn account?
Yes. Plant Path plays free in any browser with no account, sign-up, or download. Zip is played inside LinkedIn; Plant Path offers the same style of one-line path puzzle standalone — one shared daily board plus unlimited practice levels for players who want more than one puzzle a day.
Is Plant Path free?
Yes. Plant Path is free to play in any modern browser, with no download, account, or sign-up. It is also built for iOS and Android.
What should I do if I get stuck?
Use the hint lamp — it lights the next stretch of the correct path. Good habits also help: work from stone 1, watch the corners and edges early (a corner cell only has two ways through), and make sure the line never seals off an empty region it can no longer reach.
