Board snapshot

A three-route board with a full 24-cell finish

Wend No. 38 uses a 5-by-5 layout with 24 open cells and one blocked cell. There are only three answers, and each has eight letters, so this board asks you to account for three equally long routes rather than sorting short and long entries first. The supplied clue directions point separately to a border, a steady beat, and a window overhead.

The grid repeats H, I, R, and T three times each, while Y appears twice. That makes letter recognition a useful first filter, but it does not settle a route by itself: the same letter can support more than one possible start or continuation. Follow each clue idea, then make every next letter earn its place through an orthogonal move.

Four open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors. That is simply a count of the open neighbors around those cells, not a statement about completed routes. As you trace, notice how the three eight-letter paths divide the 24 open cells exactly; the final route leaves no open cells unassigned. This LinkedIn Wend answer is most useful when you want to compare a suspected path without exposing everything at once.

How to approach this board

Use the clues to narrow the board before opening spoilers

Start with the clue that suggests a border. On this board, its route reaches across five rows while staying within two columns, so a vertical-looking run with a brief detour is worth testing. Do not commit just because you spot a promising first letter; trace the next few letters and check that each move stays orthogonal.

The steady-beat clue gives you a different shape to inspect. Its eight letters occupy three rows and three columns, with several changes of direction. Because H, I, R, T, and Y recur in the grid, it helps to say the candidate letters in order as you move rather than relying on a visual impression of a familiar pattern.

Leave the window-overhead clue until you have either found a route or ruled out part of the board. Its path stays within two rows but spans four columns, and it uses seven straight segments across its eight letters. The spoiler section below contains the full LinkedIn Wend answer, so you can stop after a single route if that is all the help you want.

Complete routes for Wend No. 38

Open one route at a time. Each path below follows consecutive orthogonally adjacent cells and preserves the board’s answer order.

Open answer 1 route analysis

The border clue

The border clue leads to FRONTIER. Begin at row 5, column 5 for F, then trace upward through row 4, column 5 and row 3, column 5 for R and O. Turn left to row 3, column 4 for N, then go up to row 2, column 4 for T and row 1, column 4 for I. Finish by moving right to row 1, column 5 for E and down to row 2, column 5 for R.

This route has four upward moves, then one move each down, left, and right. It spans all five rows but only two columns, which is a useful way to distinguish it from the other routes when you are checking your own trace. Six of its eight cells visit an edge, including two corner visits, so the path keeps close to the board boundary without remaining straight.

For a position-by-position check, use: 1 at row 5, column 5; 2 at row 4, column 5; 3 at row 3, column 5; 4 at row 3, column 4; 5 at row 2, column 4; 6 at row 1, column 4; 7 at row 1, column 5; 8 at row 2, column 5. After this route is assigned, 16 open cells remain for the other two answers.

Open answer 2 route analysis

The steady-beat clue

For the steady-beat clue, trace RHYTHMIC from row 1, column 3. Move down to row 2, column 3 for H, left to row 2, column 2 for Y, and down to row 3, column 2 for T. Continue left to row 3, column 1 for H, then go up through row 2, column 1 for M and row 1, column 1 for I before turning right to row 1, column 2 for C.

The route moves down twice, left twice, up twice, and right once. Those changes make a compact three-row-by-three-column shape rather than a simple edge run. It has five edge visits and one corner visit. If you were using repeated letters to test candidates, the ordered sequence R, H, Y, T, H, M, I, C is the reliable check.

The complete transcript is: 1 at row 1, column 3; 2 at row 2, column 3; 3 at row 2, column 2; 4 at row 3, column 2; 5 at row 3, column 1; 6 at row 2, column 1; 7 at row 1, column 1; 8 at row 1, column 2. With this second route assigned, eight open cells remain.

Open answer 3 route analysis

The window-overhead clue

The window-overhead clue points to SKYLIGHT. Start at row 4, column 4 for S and move down to row 5, column 4 for K. Go left to row 5, column 3 for Y, up to row 4, column 3 for L, and left to row 4, column 2 for I. Then move down to row 5, column 2 for G, left to row 5, column 1 for H, and up to row 4, column 1 for T.

This path is especially useful as a final board check because it stays across two rows while covering four columns. It changes direction at every move after the first: down, left, up, left, down, left, up. Five cells visit an edge and one is a corner visit. Once you see the sequence S, K, Y, L, I, G, H, T, the remaining route can be confirmed without borrowing cells from the earlier two paths.

Use this exact sequence to compare your board: 1 at row 4, column 4; 2 at row 5, column 4; 3 at row 5, column 3; 4 at row 4, column 3; 5 at row 4, column 2; 6 at row 5, column 2; 7 at row 5, column 1; 8 at row 4, column 1. It assigns the last eight open cells, completing the 24-cell board.
