Today’s board

A 5-by-5 board with six breaks in the route

Wend No. 35 uses a 5-by-5 grid with 19 open cells and 6 blocked cells. The rows hold 4, 5, 2, 5, and 3 open cells respectively, so the board does not offer one uninterrupted sweep from top to bottom. The middle row has only two open cells, while the second and fourth rows each give you five places to inspect. That uneven layout is a useful first clue when you are deciding where a word can continue.

The outer columns are especially active: column 1 and column 5 each contain five open cells. By contrast, columns 2, 3, and 4 each contain three. Several letters repeat—A, C, I, L, and N each appear twice—so spotting a familiar letter is only the start. Check its exact row and column before committing to a route; the two copies can lead into very different neighboring cells.

Twelve open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors. That is simply a raw board-neighbor count, but it gives this edition a clear shape: many squares offer only a small number of immediate next moves. Start by noticing the open runs along row 2 and row 4, then look at the endpoints on row 5. The four answer lengths are 3, 4, 5, and 7, which lets you reserve longer stretches for the word that needs them.

Before spoilers

Use the board’s short corridors to narrow your options

If you want a nudge without seeing a word, begin with the clue for something frozen. Look for a three-letter route that can make one horizontal move and then one vertical move. On this board, that small bend is more informative than trying every occurrence of the same letter. Once you see a plausible start, trace each adjacent cell slowly and leave the rest of the grid untouched for the moment.

For the four-letter clue, scan the top row and the right-side column together. A route that begins on row 1 can turn once and continue downward, using a clean vertical run on the right. This is a good place to count letters aloud as you move: one cell for the opening letter, then three adjacent cells to finish. The blocked cells in row 3 keep the possible continuation visually distinct.

The remaining space rewards a little planning. One answer starts from a row-5 cell with only one open orthogonal neighbor, so it is worth checking that endpoint early. After that route is accounted for, the seven-letter answer can use the connected open cells on the left and across the upper rows. If you want the direct solution, the walkthrough gives every cell in order for the LinkedIn Wend answer.

Every answer and its exact route

Open this section only when you want the full LinkedIn Wend answer. Each route below follows orthogonally adjacent open cells, with the letter order and every row-and-column stop written out so you can compare it directly with this board.

Open answer 1 route analysis

ICY — the three-letter route

The first word is ICY. It fits the frozen hint and uses a compact three-cell corner of the board. Start at the I in row 4, column 2. Move left to the C in row 4, column 1, then move down to the Y in row 5, column 1. The letters read I → C → Y, with one turn between the leftward and downward moves.

For a precise check, the transcript is: 1 at row 4, column 2; 2 at row 4, column 1; 3 at row 5, column 1. This route spans two rows and two columns, visits two edge cells, and ends at a cell with one open orthogonal neighbor. It assigns three cells, leaving 16 open cells for the remaining words. If you were looking for a light hint, the row-5 Y is a natural place to test because its available continuation is limited.

Open answer 2 route analysis

OVAL — across the top, then down

The second word is OVAL. Trace OVAL from the O at row 1, column 4 to the V at row 1, column 5. Then turn down to the A at row 2, column 5 and continue down to the L at row 3, column 5. The sequence is O → V → A → L: one move right, followed by two moves down.

Here is the complete coordinate record: 1 at row 1, column 4; 2 at row 1, column 5; 3 at row 2, column 5; 4 at row 3, column 5. The route stays on the board edge for all four of its cells and makes one turn. It covers three rows and two columns. After ICY and OVAL are placed, seven cells are assigned and 12 open cells remain, so the right side is no longer available for another answer.

Open answer 3 route analysis

QUICK — up, across, and down

The third word is QUICK. Begin at the Q in row 5, column 3, then move up to the U in row 4, column 3. Continue right through the I in row 4, column 4 and the C in row 4, column 5, then turn down to the K in row 5, column 5. Read in order, the path is Q → U → I → C → K.

The full transcript is: 1 at row 5, column 3; 2 at row 4, column 3; 3 at row 4, column 4; 4 at row 4, column 5; 5 at row 5, column 5. This route has three straight segments and two turns: up, right-right, then down. Its first cell and final cell each have one open orthogonal neighbor. It uses five cells across two rows and three columns; with the first three answers placed, 12 cells are assigned and 7 open cells remain.

Open answer 4 route analysis

LANTERN — the seven-cell finish

The final word is LANTERN. Start at the L in row 3, column 1 and move up to the A in row 2, column 1, then up again to the N in row 1, column 1. Turn right to the T in row 1, column 2, go down to the E in row 2, column 2, and finish by moving right through the R in row 2, column 3 to the N in row 2, column 4. The letters are L → A → N → T → E → R → N.

For an exact board check, follow: 1 at row 3, column 1; 2 at row 2, column 1; 3 at row 1, column 1; 4 at row 1, column 2; 5 at row 2, column 2; 6 at row 2, column 3; 7 at row 2, column 4. This route makes three turns and has four straight segments. It spans three rows and four columns, assigns the final seven open cells, and leaves zero unassigned cells. That complete coverage is a useful confirmation that this LinkedIn Wend answer accounts for the whole board.

What is the LinkedIn Wend answer for July 13, 2026?

Wend No. 35 has four answers. Open the spoiler walkthrough for the full words and exact cell-by-cell routes.

How many answers are on this board?

There are four answers, with lengths of 3, 4, 5, and 7 letters.

Do the routes use diagonal moves?

No. Each listed route moves only between orthogonally adjacent open cells.

Why should I check repeated letters carefully?

A, C, I, L, and N each appear twice, so the correct route depends on the exact row and column, not just the letter.

Does the solution cover every open cell?

Yes. The four routes assign all 19 open cells, and the final route leaves no open cells unassigned.
