Board snapshot

A 6-by-6 board with an uneven open outline

The July 25 board contains 30 open cells and six blocked cells within its 6-by-6 frame. From top to bottom, the rows contain 5, 6, 4, 4, 6, and 5 open cells. The second and fifth rows provide the widest usable runs, while the third and fourth rows narrow to four open positions apiece.

The column totals form a different profile: 4, 6, 5, 5, 6, and 4 open cells from left to right. Exactly 12 open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors. That is a raw board-neighbor count: it counts open cells with no more than two open cells directly above, below, left, or right. It does not describe constraints created by completed routes.

Repeated letters deserve attention on this board. T appears four times; E, I, N, O, and R each appear three times; and A, C, and F each appear twice. The required path lengths are 6, 7, 8, and 9, totaling all 30 open cells. The checked routes behind this LinkedIn Wend answer assign every open cell once, leaving none unused after the fourth path.

Spoiler-light approach

Use the length ladder to control each trace

Keep the four required lengths—6, 7, 8, and 9—beside the board. Test one length at a time and count letters as you trace. A plausible spelling is not enough if it stops too soon, runs too long, or cannot continue through orthogonally adjacent open cells.

Repeated letters create several tempting branches, especially around T and the six letters that occur three times. When a trace reaches one of those letters, check the next one or two moves before committing. Confirm every step goes directly up, down, left, or right, and reject any candidate that needs a diagonal jump.

Use the uneven row and column totals as a map when you lose the route. The two six-cell rows and two six-cell columns provide room for longer runs, while narrower rows limit where a path can pass. If that is not enough, open the LinkedIn Wend answer walkthrough one item at a time so you reveal only the next word and its exact trace.

Spoiler walkthrough

All four words and their checked routes

The spoiler section gives the LinkedIn Wend answer in the required 6-, 7-, 8-, and 9-letter order. Each item includes the full coordinate sequence, movement pattern, and board evidence needed to compare your trace cell by cell.

Open answer 1 route analysis

AFFECT: Two turns into a vertical finish

Trace AFFECT through these cells, reading one letter at each step: 1 at row 2, column 6; 2 at row 1, column 6; 3 at row 1, column 5; 4 at row 2, column 5; 5 at row 3, column 5; 6 at row 4, column 5. The sequence reads A → F → F → E → C → T.

The movement pattern is up, left, and then down three times. It makes two turns and forms three straight segments while spanning four rows and two columns. The route records three edge visits and one corner visit. Its starting cell has two open orthogonal neighbors, its ending cell has three, and completing these six cells leaves 24 open cells for the other routes.

Open answer 2 route analysis

OPINION: A broad sweep with a short return

Follow OPINION in this order: 1 at row 1, column 4; 2 at row 2, column 4; 3 at row 2, column 3; 4 at row 2, column 2; 5 at row 2, column 1; 6 at row 1, column 1; 7 at row 1, column 2. Those positions read O → P → I → N → I → O → N.

This route moves down, left three times, up, and right. It changes direction three times and has four straight segments. Although it occupies only two rows, it spans four columns and records four edge visits, including one corner visit. Both endpoints have two open orthogonal neighbors. After this and the first route, 13 cells are assigned and 17 remain.

Open answer 3 route analysis

UTTERING: A two-row weave across five columns

Build UTTERING with this sequence: 1 at row 6, column 2; 2 at row 6, column 3; 3 at row 5, column 3; 4 at row 5, column 4; 5 at row 5, column 5; 6 at row 6, column 5; 7 at row 6, column 6; 8 at row 5, column 6. In order, the letters are U → T → T → E → R → I → N → G.

The moves are right, up, right twice, down, right, and up. Five direction changes produce six straight segments, so counting the turns helps distinguish this trace from nearby alternatives. It stays within two rows but spans five columns, with five edge visits and one corner visit. Once this route is added, 21 open cells are assigned and nine remain.

Open answer 4 route analysis

ORCHESTRA: The nine-cell route that closes the board

Complete ORCHESTRA along these cells: 1 at row 6, column 1; 2 at row 5, column 1; 3 at row 5, column 2; 4 at row 4, column 2; 5 at row 3, column 2; 6 at row 3, column 3; 7 at row 4, column 3; 8 at row 4, column 4; 9 at row 3, column 4. The letters read O → R → C → H → E → S → T → R → A.

Its movement pattern is up, right, up twice, right, down, right, and up. That gives six turns and seven straight segments across a span of four rows and four columns. The route has two edge visits and one corner visit. Its starting cell has two open orthogonal neighbors, while its ending cell has four. Finishing it raises the assigned total to all 30 open cells, with zero remaining.

Player questions

July 25 Wend No. 47 FAQ

How many paths should I find on this board?

You need four paths with lengths of 6, 7, 8, and 9 letters. Together, their lengths account for all 30 open cells.

Can I use this guide without immediately seeing the words?

Yes. The snapshot and approach give board-specific help without naming the answers. The words and exact cell sequences appear only in the disclosed walkthrough.

What does the count of 12 low-neighbor open cells mean?

It means exactly 12 open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors on the unfilled board. The count considers only directly adjacent open cells and does not reflect routes you have already completed.

Is Wendtoday an official LinkedIn puzzle guide?

No. Wendtoday is unofficial and not affiliated with LinkedIn. This page independently explains the July 25 board for players who want a nudge or a complete route check.
