Wend No. 60 is the August 7, 2026 edition covered here. This LinkedIn Wend answer gives you a spoiler-light view of the 6-by-6 board first, then places all four revealed words and their precise cell-by-cell traces inside the walkthrough. Use as much or as little help as you need while keeping the live board in view.

Board snapshot

A balanced 6-by-6 layout with repeated letters

Viewed as a 6-by-6 grid, the board contains 28 open cells and 8 blocked cells. Its open-cell count by row is 4, 6, 4, 4, 6, and 4. Rows 2 and 5 each provide six open cells, while every other row provides four. That profile gives you a quick way to check that you are looking at the correct August 7 board before you begin tracing.

Read down the columns and the same numerical profile appears: 4, 6, 4, 4, 6, and 4 open cells. Columns 2 and 5 each contain six open cells, matching the two six-cell rows. Twelve open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors. This is only the raw board-neighbor count for those cells; it does not mean completed routes have constrained them.

Letter choice is the main source of branching on this board. E, N, O, and S each occur three times. A, C, D, R, U, and X each occur twice. Those repetitions mean a plausible spelling may have more than one apparent continuation, so check the required length and the available up, down, left, or right move before committing to a repeated letter. The completed entries have lengths 5, 6, 7, and 10, accounting for all 28 open cells.

Spoiler-aware approach

Use length and repeated letters before revealing the paths

Keep the walkthrough closed if you want to preserve the four full words. For this LinkedIn Wend answer, begin with the supplied length order: 5, then 6, then 7, then 10. Their first letters are E, D, U, and C. That combination gives you a focused starting point without exposing the spellings or their numbered cell sequences.

Test one candidate at a time by tracing through open cells and counting every letter as you move. Consecutive cells in the confirmed paths move orthogonally, so check only an upward, downward, leftward, or rightward continuation. Match the number of visited cells to the target length, and pause whenever a repeated letter offers more than one possible direction. A valid-looking prefix is not enough if its remaining continuation cannot reach the required total.

When a candidate seems complete, mark its cells temporarily and recount what remains rather than trying to hold all 28 positions in memory. The two six-cell rows and two six-cell columns are useful visual reference lines, while the repeated E, N, O, and S cells deserve an extra check before you settle on one occurrence. If the shorter lengths no longer leave a coherent set of open cells for the longer entries, revisit the earliest branch instead of forcing the final spelling.

Spoilers

The four words and their complete routes

Open this section when you want the full solution. The spoiler portion of this LinkedIn Wend answer lists the entries in the supplied order and gives one continuous numbered trace for each. Each route also includes movement totals, turns, spans, endpoint neighbor counts, and cell-assignment progress, so you can compare a partial trace with the confirmed geometry.

Open answer 1 route analysis

Word 1: EXACT

Trace EXACT from row 5, column 1. Follow these cells in order: 1 at row 5, column 1; 2 at row 6, column 1; 3 at row 6, column 2; 4 at row 5, column 2; 5 at row 4, column 2. The letters read E → X → A → C → T. In movement terms, go down, turn right, and then move up twice to finish the five-letter path.

This route contains two upward steps, one downward step, and one rightward step, with no leftward movement. It changes direction twice and forms three straight segments. Its row span is three and its column span is two. The trace records three edge visits and one corner visit; its starting cell has two open orthogonal neighbors, while its ending cell has three. It takes the assigned-cell count from 0 to 5 and leaves 23 open cells for the remaining words.

Open answer 2 route analysis

Word 2: DELUXE

Begin DELUXE at row 2, column 3 and read the cells as follows: 1 at row 2, column 3; 2 at row 2, column 4; 3 at row 2, column 5; 4 at row 1, column 5; 5 at row 1, column 6; 6 at row 2, column 6. This produces D → E → L → U → X → E. Move right twice, turn upward, go right once more, and then turn downward for the final E.

Across its six cells, the route makes three rightward moves, one upward move, and one downward move. It never moves left. The sequence changes direction three times and contains four straight segments, with a row span of two and a column span of four. It records three edge visits and one corner visit. There are three open orthogonal neighbors at the start and two at the end. Once this word is added, the assigned total rises from 5 to 11, leaving 17 open cells.

Open answer 3 route analysis

Word 3: UNKNOWN

Follow UNKNOWN from row 5, column 6 through this sequence: 1 at row 5, column 6; 2 at row 6, column 6; 3 at row 6, column 5; 4 at row 5, column 5; 5 at row 4, column 5; 6 at row 3, column 5; 7 at row 3, column 4. The letters appear as U → N → K → N → O → W → N. Move down, turn left, climb upward for three consecutive steps, and finish with one leftward move.

The seven-cell path uses three upward steps, one downward step, and two leftward steps, with no movement to the right. It changes direction three times and breaks into four straight segments. Its row span is four and its column span is three. The route makes three edge visits and one corner visit. Its starting cell has two open orthogonal neighbors, and its ending cell has four. Adding it advances the assigned-cell count from 11 to 18, so 10 open cells remain.

Open answer 4 route analysis

Word 4: CROSSROADS

Lay out CROSSROADS beginning at row 2, column 1. The complete order is 1 at row 2, column 1; 2 at row 1, column 1; 3 at row 1, column 2; 4 at row 2, column 2; 5 at row 3, column 2; 6 at row 3, column 3; 7 at row 4, column 3; 8 at row 5, column 3; 9 at row 5, column 4; 10 at row 4, column 4. These positions spell C → R → O → S → S → R → O → A → D → S. Move up, right, down twice, right, down twice, right, and finally up.

This ten-letter route has four downward steps, three rightward steps, and two upward steps; it does not move left. Six changes of direction create seven straight segments. The trace spans five rows and four columns, with three edge visits and one corner visit. Its starting cell has two open orthogonal neighbors, while its ending cell has four. Before this route, 18 cells are assigned. Adding all 10 positions brings that total to 28 and leaves no open cells unassigned.

Player questions

August 7 Wend FAQ

Which Wend edition does this page cover?

This LinkedIn Wend answer covers Wend No. 60 for August 7, 2026, using a 6-by-6 board with 28 open cells and 8 blocked cells.

How many words are on this board?

There are four words. Their lengths are 5, 6, 7, and 10 letters, which together account for the board’s 28 open cells.

Can I use the page without seeing the words?

Yes. Read the snapshot and approach while leaving the walkthrough closed. Those sections provide board counts, repeated-letter information, lengths, and starting initials without displaying the complete words.

How should I interpret the 12-cell neighbor figure?

It means 12 open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors on the raw board. It says nothing about those cells being constrained by routes already completed.

Is Wendtoday an official LinkedIn guide?

No. Wendtoday is unofficial and is not affiliated with LinkedIn. It offers a board-specific helper and a spoiler-contained walkthrough for players who want to check their progress.
