Today’s board

A board built around its outer lines

This July 14 board has 20 open cells and 5 blocked cells. Its open-cell totals match across both directions: the rows contain 5, 2, 4, 4, and 5 open cells, while the columns contain 5, 2, 4, 4, and 5. That makes the top row, bottom row, left edge, and right edge especially useful places to inspect before committing to a route.

The answer lengths are 3, 4, 6, and 7. The shortest route uses three cells, while the longer routes account for most of the board, so a good early find can tell you which letters should be left untouched. There are three Cs, three Es, three Rs, and two Is, which gives several letter checks without making every occurrence interchangeable.

Thirteen open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors. That is a raw count of open neighbors around those cells, not a statement about completed routes. On this board, it is worth tracing from a clue-matching letter one move at a time and checking whether the next cell remains open and orthogonally adjacent before you decide the route is real.

Spoiler-light route planning

Use the clues to narrow the board first

The supplied hints point separately toward a network, an unwanted escape, an edge, and a complete electrical route. Keep those ideas separate as you scan. One clue can suggest a short word quickly, while another is better used to test a longer run along an outside line. You do not need to reveal every answer at once to make progress.

Begin by counting the four target lengths and looking at letters that could start each clue. The rightmost column is a useful place to test a four-cell possibility because it offers a continuous vertical run. The top row also has a long uninterrupted sequence, but do not assume that every visible sequence belongs to the same answer; check each letter in order.

Once a possible path fits, leave its cells mentally reserved and inspect the remaining spaces. The 3-letter route changes direction once, the 4-letter route stays straight, and the two longer routes each turn. If you only want help, use those route shapes and the clue meanings; the spoiler section below provides the exact LinkedIn Wend answer and every coordinate when you are ready.

Spoiler walkthrough

Full routes for Wend No. 36

Open these paths when you want a complete check of the July 14 board. Each route uses orthogonally adjacent open cells, and together the four listed paths assign all 20 open cells.

Open answer 1 route analysis

The three-cell network clue

The network clue leads to WEB. Trace WEB from row 4, column 4, then move down to row 5, column 4 and right to row 5, column 5. The letters read W, E, B in that order. It is a compact route with one turn, spanning two rows and two columns, so it makes a useful first confirmation without exposing much of the board.

For an exact check, the coordinate transcript is: 1 at row 4, column 4; 2 at row 5, column 4; 3 at row 5, column 5. This path starts on a cell with four open orthogonal neighbors and ends on a cell with two. After assigning these three cells, 17 open cells remain for the other answers.

Open answer 2 route analysis

The straight right-edge route

The unwanted-escape clue points to LEAK. Start at row 1, column 5 and follow the rightmost open column downward through row 2, column 5, row 3, column 5, and row 4, column 5. The sequence is L, E, A, K. This is the board’s straight four-cell route: three downward moves, no turn, and one continuous segment.

Use this full coordinate record if you are comparing your route carefully: 1 at row 1, column 5; 2 at row 2, column 5; 3 at row 3, column 5; 4 at row 4, column 5. All four cells are on the edge, and the route runs from a starting cell with two open orthogonal neighbors to an ending cell with three. With WEB already assigned, this leaves 13 open cells.

Open answer 3 route analysis

Across the top, then down

For the clue about an edge, trace CORNER from row 1, column 4. Move left through row 1, column 3, row 1, column 2, and row 1, column 1; then turn down to row 2, column 1 and row 3, column 1. The letters are C, O, R, N, E, R. The word itself makes the clue connection clear, while the board route uses the top row before continuing down the left side.

Here is the precise sequence: 1 at row 1, column 4; 2 at row 1, column 3; 3 at row 1, column 2; 4 at row 1, column 1; 5 at row 2, column 1; 6 at row 3, column 1. It has three left moves followed by two downward moves, with one turn. All six cells sit on the edge, and this route leaves seven open cells after the earlier paths are assigned.

Open answer 4 route analysis

The remaining complete route

The complete electrical-route clue gives CIRCUIT. Begin at row 3, column 4, go left to row 3, column 3, then travel down through row 4, column 3 and row 5, column 3. Turn left to row 5, column 2 and row 5, column 1, then move up to row 4, column 1. In order, the letters read C, I, R, C, U, I, T. This route uses four straight segments and three turns as it fills the remaining area.

Check the LinkedIn Wend answer against this transcript: 1 at row 3, column 4; 2 at row 3, column 3; 3 at row 4, column 3; 4 at row 5, column 3; 5 at row 5, column 2; 6 at row 5, column 1; 7 at row 4, column 1. Its six moves go left, down, down, left, left, and up. The route ends on a cell with two open orthogonal neighbors and brings the assignment total to all 20 open cells.
