Board snapshot

What the August 22 board tells you

Wend No. 75 uses a seven-row, seven-column board containing 41 open cells and eight blocked cells. The open-cell totals from the first row to the seventh are 7, 6, 6, 3, 6, 6, and 7. That narrow fourth row is the board’s clearest structural feature, while the completely open first and seventh rows give longer traces room to travel along an edge.

Reading by column gives a related but distinct profile: 6, 6, 7, 3, 7, 6, and 6 open cells. The fourth column again contains only three open cells, matching the fourth row’s count. Exactly 11 open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors; this is only a raw count of how many open cells touch no more than two other open cells above, below, left, or right.

The five required lengths are 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11, and together they account for all 41 open cells. Repeated letters deserve careful bookkeeping: R appears six times, A five times, T four times, and L and U three times each. E, I, N, O, V, and Y each appear twice, so a plausible spelling still needs to match the exact cells available on this board. Those counts provide a useful non-spoiler check before you consult the LinkedIn Wend answer.

Solving approach

Use the board shape before revealing the words

Set up five slots in increasing order: 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11 letters. Working in that order lets you compare each candidate with the space left on the board. If you want the lightest available nudge, the initial letters are C, G, Q, R, and U. Stop there and return to the board before opening the walkthrough.

Pay close attention to the thin cross formed by the fourth row and fourth column, each of which has only three open cells. Trace through those open positions deliberately rather than assuming a word will continue in a straight line. The outer rows each contain seven open cells, but that does not mean a complete answer simply runs across either row; use adjacency and the required length together.

After placing a candidate, count its cells and confirm every consecutive step remains orthogonal. Then compare the unused-cell total with the remaining lengths: after the 6-letter slot, 35 cells should remain; after the 7-letter slot, 28; after the 8-letter slot, 20; and after the 9-letter slot, 11. This running total catches overlaps and omissions without revealing the complete LinkedIn Wend answer.

Full spoilers

All five answers and their exact paths

The following items reveal every answer in order. Each trace lists the cells explicitly, then summarizes its movement so you can compare the disclosed route with this board.

Open answer 1 route analysis

Answer 1: COLUMN

Trace COLUMN through these six positions: 1 at row 3, column 2; 2 at row 3, column 1; 3 at row 2, column 1; 4 at row 1, column 1; 5 at row 1, column 2; 6 at row 1, column 3. The letters read C → O → L → U → M → N in that order.

Move left once, go up twice, and finish by moving right twice. The path makes two turns and three straight segments while spanning three rows and three columns. It visits five edge cells and one corner cell. Placing these six cells leaves 35 open cells for the other four answers.

Open answer 2 route analysis

Answer 2: GRAVITY

Follow GRAVITY cell by cell: 1 at row 1, column 4; 2 at row 1, column 5; 3 at row 2, column 5; 4 at row 2, column 6; 5 at row 2, column 7; 6 at row 1, column 7; 7 at row 1, column 6. This produces G → R → A → V → I → T → Y.

The movement sequence is right, down, right, right, up, and left. Four changes of direction divide the route into five straight segments. Although it occupies only two rows, it extends across four columns and visits five edge cells, including one corner cell. With the first two answers placed, 13 cells are assigned and 28 remain.

Open answer 3 route analysis

Answer 3: QUADRANT

For QUADRANT, use 1 at row 7, column 1; 2 at row 7, column 2; 3 at row 6, column 2; 4 at row 6, column 3; 5 at row 5, column 3; 6 at row 5, column 2; 7 at row 5, column 1; 8 at row 6, column 1. The sequence spells Q → U → A → D → R → A → N → T.

Travel right, up, right, up, left, left, and down. Five turns create six straight segments across a three-row, three-column span. The trace visits four edge cells and one corner cell. Its two A positions are separate parts of the route, so count them individually. After this answer, 21 cells are assigned and 20 remain.

Open answer 4 route analysis

Answer 4: RASPBERRY

Trace RASPBERRY from 1 at row 3, column 7; 2 at row 3, column 6; 3 at row 3, column 5; 4 at row 4, column 5; 5 at row 4, column 4; 6 at row 4, column 3; 7 at row 3, column 3; 8 at row 2, column 3; 9 at row 2, column 2. These cells give R → A → S → P → B → E → R → R → Y.

Go left twice, down, left twice, up twice, and left once more. The route turns four times, forms five straight segments, and spans three rows and six columns. Its ending contains consecutive R letters in separate cells, which is important on a board holding six Rs overall. Once all nine positions are assigned, 30 cells are used and only the 11-letter answer remains.

Open answer 5 route analysis

Answer 5: ULTRAVIOLET

Complete ULTRAVIOLET with 1 at row 7, column 3; 2 at row 7, column 4; 3 at row 7, column 5; 4 at row 7, column 6; 5 at row 6, column 6; 6 at row 6, column 5; 7 at row 5, column 5; 8 at row 5, column 6; 9 at row 5, column 7; 10 at row 6, column 7; 11 at row 7, column 7. The path reads U → L → T → R → A → V → I → O → L → E → T.

Move right three times, up, left, up, right twice, and down twice. Five turns divide this route into six straight segments across three rows and five columns. Seven of its cells lie on an edge, and one is a corner cell. The repeated L and T positions belong to distinct steps. Finishing this trace assigns all 41 open cells, leaving none unused.

Record check

How this edition was checked

The August 22, 2026 date, Wend No. 75 label, seven-by-seven dimensions, blocked-cell pattern, letter layout, answer order, and answer lengths were checked against the available official manual record. The LinkedIn Wend answer paths were also followed cell by cell to confirm orthogonal continuity and the stated spellings.

Yes. Read the snapshot and approach, then stop before the walkthrough. Those sections provide dimensions, counts, initials, and placement checks without printing the complete words.

What does the count of 11 low-neighbor cells mean?

It means exactly 11 open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors. It is a raw board-neighbor count, not a statement about completed routes.

Is this an official LinkedIn guide?

No. Wendtoday is unofficial and not affiliated with LinkedIn; it presents a spoiler-aware helper record for this specific edition.
