Board snapshot

What is on this Wend No. 28 board?

This July 6, 2026 edition uses a 5-by-5 board with 18 open cells and 7 blocked cells. Its open-cell row totals are 5, 3, 3, 5, and 2, so the board has two fully open horizontal runs while the middle rows leave visible gaps. Those gaps matter when you are deciding whether a promising spelling can continue without stepping through a blocked square.

The four answer lengths are 3, 4, 5, and 6. That gives you a useful order for checking the board: test a compact route first, then let each confirmed path reduce the letters still available for the longer entries. The supplied starting-letter nudge follows that same length order, so you can keep the four targets separate without exposing the words themselves.

Repeated letters are part of the evidence on this board. H appears three times, while A, I, N, and T each appear twice. Fourteen open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors; that is a raw count of adjacent open cells, not a statement about any completed route. In practice, count each possible up, down, left, and right move before committing to a letter sequence.

Spoiler-light approach

How to work through this board

Start with the three-letter target and look for an open cell whose next move has little room to wander. You do not need to reveal the word to use this clue: trace only orthogonal steps, pause after each letter, and make sure the final square can support the next unsolved route. A short route can be a clean way to learn how this board’s lower rows connect to the row above.

Next, use the four- and five-letter lengths as separate checks rather than trying to read one long string across the grid. The open cells along the outside edges provide several consecutive positions, but the blocked cells break the apparent rectangles. When a clue suggests a likely word, count its letters, identify a plausible first letter, and test the direction change before you assume the rest of the path is available.

Leave the six-letter route until you have removed the shorter possibilities, or use its stronger hint if you want a more decisive push. It begins on the lower edge and changes direction twice. That detail tells you to watch for a route that rises, briefly crosses, and then rises again. Once the other paths are accounted for, the remaining cells provide a satisfying final check for the LinkedIn Wend answer.

July 6 answers and routes

Open this section when you want the complete LinkedIn Wend answer for Wend No. 28. Each route below uses adjacent open cells only, and the entries stay in the supplied 3-, 4-, 5-, then 6-letter order.

Open answer 1 route analysis

The three-letter route

ZIP is the three-letter answer. Trace ZIP from row 5, column 4, then move up to row 4, column 4 and right to row 4, column 5. The path reads Z → I → P. It begins on the bottom row, makes one turn, and finishes on the right edge, which gives you a compact route to confirm before you start assigning longer words.

For a position-by-position check, use: 1 at row 5, column 4; 2 at row 4, column 4; 3 at row 4, column 5. The first cell has one open orthogonal neighbor, while the final cell has two. After ZIP is assigned, 15 open cells remain for the other three answers, so it is a useful first route without giving away the rest of the board.

Open answer 2 route analysis

The four-letter route

THAW is the four-letter answer. Trace THAW from row 1, column 4, go right to row 1, column 5, then turn down through row 2, column 5 and row 3, column 5. The letters are T → H → A → W. This route runs across the top edge before continuing down the right side, with one turn between its two straight segments.

Check every cell in this order: 1 at row 1, column 4; 2 at row 1, column 5; 3 at row 2, column 5; 4 at row 3, column 5. All four positions sit on an outer edge, and the route includes the row 1, column 5 corner. With ZIP already assigned, THAW brings the total to seven assigned open cells and leaves 11 for the remaining entries.

Open answer 3 route analysis

The five-letter route

THING is the five-letter answer. Start at row 1, column 2, move left to row 1, column 1, and then continue down row 2, column 1, row 3, column 1, and row 4, column 1. The sequence is T → H → I → N → G. After its first leftward step, this route becomes a three-step downward run along the first column.

The complete transcript is: 1 at row 1, column 2; 2 at row 1, column 1; 3 at row 2, column 1; 4 at row 3, column 1; 5 at row 4, column 1. It has one turn and two straight segments, visits five edge cells, and includes the row 1, column 1 corner. At this point 12 open cells are assigned, leaving six cells for the final answer.

Open answer 4 route analysis

The six-letter route

ANCHOR is the six-letter answer. Begin at row 5, column 2 and go up to row 4, column 2. Turn right to row 4, column 3, then go up through row 3, column 3, row 2, column 3, and row 1, column 3. The spelling is A → N → C → H → O → R. This is the lower-edge route with two direction changes described in the hint: up, right, then up again.

For an exact comparison, follow: 1 at row 5, column 2; 2 at row 4, column 2; 3 at row 4, column 3; 4 at row 3, column 3; 5 at row 2, column 3; 6 at row 1, column 3. The route spans all five rows and two columns. Its starting cell has one open orthogonal neighbor, its ending cell has three, and assigning ANCHOR uses the final six open cells. Together, the four displayed paths assign all 18 open cells.

Player questions

July 6, 2026 FAQ

What is the LinkedIn Wend answer for July 6, 2026?

Wend No. 28 has four answers. Open the spoiler walkthrough above to see them in the verified 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-letter order with their full routes.

How many open cells does this edition use?

The board has 18 open cells and 7 blocked cells. The four displayed paths together use all 18 open cells.

Where should I start if I only want a small hint?

Try the three-letter target first. Its route begins on the bottom row and reaches the row above before turning once.

Can I move diagonally on this board?

No. Every listed route moves between orthogonally adjacent open cells: up, down, left, or right.

Why do repeated letters matter here?

H occurs three times, and A, I, N, and T occur twice. Checking the row and column of a candidate letter helps distinguish a plausible spelling from the route that actually continues through open cells.
