zebra
zig-zag
zipper

So I marked completely solvable by logic alone if you count zigzag logic (and the fact the title said it was a Z). I knew by the twos it had to do what it does and because it was a Z I knew for sure where to start. :)

Found to be solvable with deep lookahead by jan.

I'm not entirely sure that "deep lookahead" is the right ruling, but I think it's the best fit. It just happens to be deep lookahead that is fairly easy.

This is a bit of a definition buster puzzle, which, I suspect, is what Joe had in mind.

I like it.

Thanks, Jan. Obviously we need another category: zippy lookahead. ;)
