Board snapshot

A five-route board with room to plan

This July 9 board leaves 30 cells open and blocks 6 cells. Its row totals are 5, 4, 6, 6, 4, and 5 from row 1 through row 6, so the middle two rows give you the broadest uninterrupted working space. Columns 1 and 6 each contain 6 open cells, while columns 2 and 5 each contain 4.

The answer lengths are 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, with opening letters F, P, R, R, and C. R appears 10 times on the board, O appears 4 times, and E, I, N, and U each appear twice. That repetition makes it useful to confirm the next move rather than committing to the first matching letter you see.

Eight open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors; that is a raw count of adjacent open board cells, not a statement about completed routes. The finished routes assign all 30 open cells, so each answer matters when you are checking whether the remaining letters still have a place.

Spoiler-aware approach

Start with shape, then protect the remaining space

Begin by separating the five lengths in your mind. The four-letter route begins with F and the five-letter route begins with P, while the two middle lengths both begin with R. If you want a light nudge for this exact board, look for a short route that travels down twice before turning left, then keep the rest of the grid covered.

For a stronger hint, use the wide row 3 as a guide without assuming an answer stays in one line. The eight-letter route uses four rightward moves, but it also drops down once and rises twice. Trace each letter one step at a time and make sure every move is orthogonal.

When you have found one route, leave its cells mentally marked before testing the next word. The six-letter R route starts at row 6, column 3, where there is only one open orthogonal neighbor, and the seven-letter R route starts at row 6, column 1 with the same raw neighbor count. Those starts can help narrow your search without revealing the complete LinkedIn Wend answer too early.

Full routes for Wend No. 31

Open this section when you want the complete LinkedIn Wend answer. Each route below follows adjacent open cells only, and the five paths together use every open cell on the July 9 board.

Open answer 1 route analysis

FORK

FORK is the four-letter answer. Start at the F in row 4, column 6, move down to the O in row 5, column 6, continue down to the R in row 6, column 6, and turn left to the K in row 6, column 5. It is a compact edge route with one turn and two straight segments.

If you are comparing your board carefully, the sequence is 1 at row 4, column 6; 2 at row 5, column 6; 3 at row 6, column 6; 4 at row 6, column 5. The path spans three rows and two columns, visits four edge cells, and ends after assigning the first four cells.

Open answer 2 route analysis

PRIOR

PRIOR is the five-letter answer. Begin at P in row 2, column 1, go up to R in row 1, column 1, then follow row 1 to the right through I at row 1, column 2, O at row 1, column 3, and R at row 1, column 4. This route changes direction once, then runs three cells rightward.

Use this transcript to check every letter: 1 at row 2, column 1; 2 at row 1, column 1; 3 at row 1, column 2; 4 at row 1, column 3; 5 at row 1, column 4. It occupies five edge cells and brings the assigned total to nine, leaving 21 open cells for the remaining answers.

Open answer 3 route analysis

RUNNER

RUNNER is the six-letter answer. Trace R from row 6, column 3 to U at row 6, column 4, then turn up to N at row 5, column 4. Go right to the second N in row 5, column 5, up to E in row 4, column 5, and left to R in row 4, column 4. The alternating turns are a useful way to distinguish it from the other R-starting route.

The complete coordinate record is 1 at row 6, column 3; 2 at row 6, column 4; 3 at row 5, column 4; 4 at row 5, column 5; 5 at row 4, column 5; 6 at row 4, column 4. It has four turns across five straight segments, spans three rows and three columns, and leaves 15 cells unassigned after completion.

Open answer 4 route analysis

REGULAR

REGULAR is the seven-letter answer. Start at R in row 6, column 1 and travel up through E at row 5, column 1, G at row 4, column 1, and U at row 3, column 1. Turn right to L in row 3, column 2, go down to A in row 4, column 2, then right to R in row 4, column 3. The first three moves are all upward before the route changes course.

For a cell-by-cell check, follow 1 at row 6, column 1; 2 at row 5, column 1; 3 at row 4, column 1; 4 at row 3, column 1; 5 at row 3, column 2; 6 at row 4, column 2; 7 at row 4, column 3. This route spans four rows and three columns, uses three turns, and leaves eight cells for the final word.

Open answer 5 route analysis

CORRIDOR

CORRIDOR is the eight-letter answer and completes the board. Begin with C at row 2, column 2, move right to O at row 2, column 3, then down to R at row 3, column 3. Continue right across R at row 3, column 4, I at row 3, column 5, and D at row 3, column 6, then go up through O at row 2, column 6 to R at row 1, column 6.

Here is the full route evidence: 1 at row 2, column 2; 2 at row 2, column 3; 3 at row 3, column 3; 4 at row 3, column 4; 5 at row 3, column 5; 6 at row 3, column 6; 7 at row 2, column 6; 8 at row 1, column 6. It makes three turns, spans three rows and five columns, and assigns the final eight open cells.

FAQ

July 9 player questions

What is the LinkedIn Wend answer for July 9, 2026?

Wend No. 31 has five answers, shown in the spoiler walkthrough in length order: 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 letters.

Where should I start if I only want a hint?

Start with the F route: it moves down twice and then left. That gives you a short confirmed shape without exposing the longer paths.

Why are there so many possible R starts?

R appears 10 times on this board. Check the next required letter and whether the route can continue orthogonally before deciding which R belongs to a word.

Do the routes use diagonal moves?

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

Does this walkthrough cover the whole board?

Yes. The five displayed routes assign all 30 open cells, with CORRIDOR using the final eight after the earlier routes are placed.
