Board snapshot

What this July 8 board gives you

This 5-by-5 board has 21 open cells and 4 blocked cells. Its open-cell count runs 4, 4, 4, 5, and 4 from row 1 through row 5, so row 4 is the only fully open row. The three answers use 6, 7, and 8 cells, which together account for all 21 open cells. That makes the full board a useful final check once you have traced more than one word.

The board is split by blocked cells at row 1, column 3; row 2, column 3; row 3, column 3; and row 5, column 3. Column 3 therefore has just one open cell, at row 4, column 3, while columns 1, 2, 4, and 5 each have five open cells. The resulting layout gives the left and right sides their own vertical runs, joined through the open stretch in row 4.

Repeated letters offer several places to test a clue without immediately settling its route. E appears three times, while A, I, M, and S each appear twice. Nine open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors; that is a raw board-neighbor count, not a statement about completed routes. For this LinkedIn Wend answer, counting available neighbors and preserving the row 4 connection can help you reject a letter sequence that looks plausible but leaves an unusable gap.

Hints before spoilers

A measured way to work through this board

Start with the answer lengths in order: 6, 7, then 8. Their opening letters are U, E, and E. That is enough to give you a focused first pass without exposing the words. Look for a six-cell run that can move through the one open cell in column 3, rather than treating that cell as an isolated letter.

If you want a stronger nudge, use the longest clue path as a board-reading exercise. It begins at row 2, column 4 and changes direction three times. You can trace possible starts from that E while keeping each move orthogonal: up, down, left, or right to an adjacent open cell. Do not jump across the blocked cells in column 3.

Once one route feels solid, mark its cells mentally and inspect what remains. The six-letter route assigns six cells, the seven-letter route brings the assigned total to 13, and the final eight-letter route fills the last 8 cells. This approach lets you keep the LinkedIn Wend answer behind the spoiler section while still using the board’s full-cell coverage as confirmation.

Open this only if you want the complete LinkedIn Wend answer. Each route below stays on orthogonally adjacent open cells and is listed in the supplied answer order, so you can compare your own trace one word at a time.

Open answer 1 route analysis

URGENT

URGENT is the six-letter answer. Trace URGENT from row 2, column 2, then go down to row 3, column 2 and down again to row 4, column 2. Turn right through row 4, column 3, continue right to row 4, column 4, then turn up to row 3, column 4. The letters read U → R → G → E → N → T.

This route is a compact bridge between the two sides of the board. It spans rows 2 through 4 and columns 2 through 4, with two direction changes across three straight segments. Its start at row 2, column 2 has three open orthogonal neighbors, and its end at row 3, column 4 also has three. Notice that row 4, column 3 supplies the E in the middle of the word and is the board’s only open cell in column 3.

For a position-by-position check, use this complete transcript: 1 at row 2, column 2; 2 at row 3, column 2; 3 at row 4, column 2; 4 at row 4, column 3; 5 at row 4, column 4; 6 at row 3, column 4. After URGENT is assigned, 15 open cells remain for the two longer answers.

Open answer 2 route analysis

EXCLAIM

EXCLAIM is the seven-letter answer. Begin at row 5, column 2 for E, move left to row 5, column 1 for X, then turn upward. Follow column 1 through row 4, column 1; row 3, column 1; row 2, column 1; and row 1, column 1, then turn right to row 1, column 2. The route spells E → X → C → L → A → I → M.

The path uses the board’s left outer edge almost continuously. It has two turns: one after the opening move from row 5, column 2 to row 5, column 1, and one at row 1, column 1 before the final M. All seven of its cells are edge visits, including the corner cells at row 5, column 1 and row 1, column 1. That clear vertical run is useful evidence when you are deciding which E should begin this answer.

Check every cell in order with this transcript: 1 at row 5, column 2; 2 at row 5, column 1; 3 at row 4, column 1; 4 at row 3, column 1; 5 at row 2, column 1; 6 at row 1, column 1; 7 at row 1, column 2. EXCLAIM takes the assigned total from 6 to 13, leaving exactly 8 open cells.

Open answer 3 route analysis

EMPHASIS

EMPHASIS is the eight-letter answer and completes the board. Start with E at row 2, column 4, move up to M at row 1, column 4, then right to P at row 1, column 5. From there, turn down and follow the right column through row 2, column 5; row 3, column 5; row 4, column 5; and row 5, column 5, before turning left to row 5, column 4. The letter sequence is E → M → P → H → A → S → I → S.

This is the longest route, and it stays on the board’s right outer edge after its opening cell. It moves up once, right once, down four times, and left once, producing three turns across four straight segments. The start at row 2, column 4 has three open orthogonal neighbors; the final S at row 5, column 4 has two. Its row span is five rows, while its column span is two columns.

Use the full route evidence if you want to compare your trace exactly: 1 at row 2, column 4; 2 at row 1, column 4; 3 at row 1, column 5; 4 at row 2, column 5; 5 at row 3, column 5; 6 at row 4, column 5; 7 at row 5, column 5; 8 at row 5, column 4. With EMPHASIS assigned, all 21 open cells are covered, completing this LinkedIn Wend answer.

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

Use the opening letters U, E, and E with the three lengths. For a stronger hint, inspect the eight-letter path beginning at row 2, column 4.

Can a route cross a blocked cell?

No. Each displayed route moves only between orthogonally adjacent open cells; the blocked cells in column 3 cannot be crossed.

Why does row 4 matter on this board?

Row 4 is the only row with five open cells, and row 4, column 3 is the sole open cell in column 3. It is part of the six-letter route.
