Work from the 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10-letter paths in order; their first letters are P, E, R, P, P, and T.
For a stronger nudge, the longest path starts in the upper edge and changes direction 5 times.

Board snapshot
On August 23, this seven-by-seven board contains 45 open cells and four blocked cells. The open-cell totals by row are 5, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, and 5. That balanced outline gives you a quick way to confirm that you copied the board correctly before tracing any entry.
Across the columns, the open-cell totals are 7, 6, 6, 7, 6, 6, and 7. Six open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors; that number is simply a raw count of board neighbors. It does not describe how those cells behave after any word has been placed.
The six required lengths rise one cell at a time: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Together they account for all 45 open cells. The letter supply is dense with repeats: R appears eight times, E seven, T six, and both I and P five times, so exact positions matter more than a quick visual match.
Solving approach
Set up six answer spaces in the given length order, then note the supplied starting initials: P, E, R, P, P, and T. This keeps the shortest candidate separate from the ten-letter candidate without revealing the completed words. Because the lengths total 45, every accepted entry must contribute exactly its allotted number of cells to the finished board.
When a candidate seems plausible, trace it one orthogonal step at a time and check each letter as you go. Do not let the repeated R, E, T, I, or P cells pull you into a route merely because the spelling appears nearby. Use the row and column open-cell profiles as bookkeeping, especially when a trace crosses several full rows.
If you want only a nudge, stay above the walkthrough and work from lengths, initials, and the board totals. When you are ready to confirm the LinkedIn Wend answer, open the spoiler section and compare one path at a time. Leave any uncertain trace uncommitted until every cell in that word follows the listed order with orthogonal moves.
Answer walkthrough
The spoiler section below gives all six words in order. Each item pairs a complete cell transcript with a short movement check for this LinkedIn Wend answer.
Trace POWER through 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 3, column 3. Reading those cells in order gives P → O → W → E → R.
Go down once, left once, then up twice. The route turns two times and forms three straight segments while spanning three rows and two columns. Once these five cells are assigned, 40 open cells remain for the five longer entries.
Follow EQUITY through 1 at row 1, column 1; 2 at row 2, column 1; 3 at row 2, column 2; 4 at row 2, column 3; 5 at row 2, column 4; 6 at row 3, column 4. The cells read E → Q → U → I → T → Y.
Start by moving down, continue right three times, and finish down. The route has two turns and three straight segments, spans three rows and four columns, and visits two edge cells including one corner. At that point, 11 cells are assigned and 34 remain.
Build REQUIRE through 1 at row 7, column 7; 2 at row 6, column 7; 3 at row 5, column 7; 4 at row 4, column 7; 5 at row 4, column 6; 6 at row 4, column 5; 7 at row 5, column 5. The ordered letters are R → E → Q → U → I → R → E.
Go up three times, turn left for two cells, and finish down. This route has two turns and three straight segments across four rows and three columns. It visits four edge cells, including one corner, and leaves 27 open cells after the first 18 cells have been assigned.
Set PRIORITY along 1 at row 5, column 6; 2 at row 6, column 6; 3 at row 6, column 5; 4 at row 6, column 4; 5 at row 6, column 3; 6 at row 6, column 2; 7 at row 5, column 2; 8 at row 4, column 2. The sequence reads P → R → I → O → R → I → T → Y.
Move down, travel left four times, and turn up for the final two moves. The route makes two turns and three straight segments while covering three rows and five columns. With these eight cells added, 26 cells are assigned and 19 remain for the last two entries.
Form PROTOTYPE through 1 at row 3, column 2; 2 at row 3, column 1; 3 at row 4, column 1; 4 at row 5, column 1; 5 at row 6, column 1; 6 at row 7, column 1; 7 at row 7, column 2; 8 at row 7, column 3; 9 at row 7, column 4. The sequence spells PROTOTYPE without skipping a position.
Move left once, descend four times, and finish with three moves to the right. The path turns twice, creates three straight segments, and spans five rows and four columns. Eight of its cells touch an edge, including one corner. Placing it raises the assigned total to 35 and leaves ten cells.
Complete TYPEWRITER through 1 at row 1, column 4; 2 at row 1, column 5; 3 at row 1, column 6; 4 at row 1, column 7; 5 at row 2, column 7; 6 at row 3, column 7; 7 at row 3, column 6; 8 at row 2, column 6; 9 at row 2, column 5; 10 at row 3, column 5.
Move right three times, down twice, left, up, left, and down. This ten-cell route makes five turns and six straight segments, spans three rows and four columns, and assigns the final ten open cells.

Player questions
This LinkedIn Wend answer is for Wend No. 76 dated August 23, 2026 in the America/Los_Angeles timezone. It records the seven-by-seven board, its 45 open cells, spoiler-aware guidance, and the complete six-word solution only where the page clearly marks the reveal.
You can use the hero, snapshot, and approach without seeing a completed word. Those sections give dimensions, open-cell counts, length order, starting initials, and repeat-letter checks. The actual spellings and paths appear only in the walkthrough disclosure.
Write 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 beside six blank slots. The increasing sequence reduces ambiguity, and its total of 45 matches the number of open cells, so it also gives you a final coverage check.
It means exactly six open cells have no more than two open orthogonal neighbors on the unfilled board. This is only a raw board-neighbor count. It does not say those cells become constrained, forced, or otherwise special after completed routes are considered.
