Zipvia
Zipvia is a daily geography puzzle where you guess a featured five-digit ZIP code for one city from map and city clues, with five guesses per round and a reset daily challenge.
Play ZipviaA fresh puzzle is waiting for you.
Zipvia asks you to identify a single five-digit ZIP for a shown city. Each round gives you up to five attempts to enter a ZIP using an on-screen number pad. After each guess, the game marks digits as green, yellow, or gray to indicate correct placement, presence elsewhere, or absence. Points depend on which guess produces new correct placements.
The site offers multiple play modes beyond the Daily Challenge, including Random, difficulty tiers, regional lists, and state capitals. You can create an account to sync progress or play as a guest with data saved in your browser. The game uses GeoNames and U.S. Census ZIP tabulation area data as its ZIP source and provides an opt-in daily leaderboard and head-to-head challenge links.
How to play Zipvia
- How to play Zipvia: Guess the featured five-digit ZIP for the city shown.
- Use the on-screen number pad to enter a ZIP; tap a box to change a digit.
- Submit a guess to receive feedback: green means correct digit and spot, yellow means the digit exists elsewhere, and gray means no unmatched copy remains.
- You have five guesses per round and must solve within them to earn points; failing to do so yields a zero score for that round.
Tips for Zipvia
- Start with a ZIP that matches the general area of the shown city if you recognize the region to reveal helpful green or yellow digits early.
- Use the yellow feedback to reposition digits rather than repeating placements that were already gray or confirmed green.
- Avoid repeating digits that have been shown as gray unless a yellow indicates another copy exists; grays indicate no unmatched copies remain.
- Prioritize guesses that can create new greens on earlier rounds because each new green yields descending point values by round.
