Board snapshot

What the August 27 board tells you

Wend No. 80 uses a six-row, six-column board. Of its 36 cells, 28 are open and eight are blocked. The open-cell totals by row are 5, 5, 4, 4, 5, and 5. The column totals follow the same 5, 5, 4, 4, 5, and 5 pattern, giving the board a balanced count profile even though the blocked cells interrupt different parts of the grid.

All four answers contain seven letters, so the required lengths are 7, 7, 7, and 7. Together, those lengths account for all 28 open cells. That equal split is useful before you identify any word: instead of testing mixed route sizes, you can reject every candidate that cannot occupy exactly seven orthogonally connected open cells.

Letter repetition matters on this board. I and O each appear four times; E and N each appear three times; and C, L, P, R, S, and T each appear twice. Fourteen open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors. That is only a raw count of neighboring open cells on the board, but it helps show where movement choices are naturally limited. For this LinkedIn Wend answer, those counts are more useful than guessing from an isolated letter.

Spoiler-free approach

Work with the equal path lengths first

Begin this LinkedIn Wend answer by setting aside four seven-letter spaces. Trace candidates only through open cells that share an edge; diagonal contact does not continue a word. Because every answer has the same length, count each proposed path immediately. A recognizable sequence that reaches six or eight cells cannot be one of the required answers.

Use the blocked cells to divide the board into workable bends and corridors. The matching row and column totals provide a quick accounting check: the outer two rows on each side contain five open cells, while the two intervening rows contain four, and the columns follow that same count sequence. If a proposed trace strands open letters behind a blocked break, reconsider its earlier turn.

Repeated letters make a single promising fragment insufficient. Check the complete spelling, confirm all seven steps, and then look at what remains available for the other three seven-letter words. If you want a nudge without the solution, keep the four initial letters from the supplied clue in mind: P, R, S, and S. Open the walkthrough only when you are ready to see each full word and its exact route.

Answer walkthrough

Four complete paths for Wend No. 80

The spoiler section gives every answer in the supplied order. Each entry spells the word through orthogonally adjacent cells, then explains its turns and board coverage so you can compare the disclosed LinkedIn Wend answer with the route on your open board.

Open answer 1 route analysis

POPCORN — seven cells across the upper part of the board

Trace POPCORN through these positions: 1 at row 3, column 2; 2 at row 3, column 3; 3 at row 2, column 3; 4 at row 1, column 3; 5 at row 1, column 4; 6 at row 1, column 5; 7 at row 2, column 5. Reading those cells in order gives P → O → P → C → O → R → N.

From the opening P, move right, go up twice, turn right for two cells, and finish by moving down. The route has three turns and four straight segments while spanning three rows and four columns. It visits three edge cells without entering a corner. The first cell has three open orthogonal neighbors, while the final N has two. Assigning this path uses seven cells and leaves 21 open cells for the other three answers.

Open answer 2 route analysis

RELIEVE — a long run along the final row

Follow RELIEVE in this order: 1 at row 5, column 2; 2 at row 6, column 2; 3 at row 6, column 3; 4 at row 6, column 4; 5 at row 6, column 5; 6 at row 6, column 6; 7 at row 5, column 6. The resulting sequence is R → E → L → I → E → V → E.

Leave the R by moving down, continue right four times, and turn up to the last E. This trace contains two turns and three straight segments. It covers two rows and five columns, with six of its seven cells on an edge and one in a corner. The starting R has two open orthogonal neighbors; the ending E has three. Once this second seven-cell path is assigned, 14 of the board’s 28 open cells remain.

Open answer 3 route analysis

SILICON — a route built around the first two columns

Build SILICON from the following cells: 1 at row 2, column 2; 2 at row 1, column 2; 3 at row 1, column 1; 4 at row 2, column 1; 5 at row 3, column 1; 6 at row 4, column 1; 7 at row 5, column 1. In path order, the letters read S → I → L → I → C → O → N.

Go up from S, turn left to L, and then descend through the remaining four letters. The direction pattern is up, left, followed by four downward steps, producing two turns and three straight segments. This path spans five rows but only two columns. It visits six edge cells, including one corner. Its starting S has four open orthogonal neighbors, and its final N has two. Completing it brings the assigned total to 21 cells, leaving one seven-cell answer.

Open answer 4 route analysis

STATION — the closing path through the remaining cells

Finish with STATION by following 1 at row 5, column 5; 2 at row 5, column 4; 3 at row 4, column 4; 4 at row 4, column 5; 5 at row 4, column 6; 6 at row 3, column 6; 7 at row 2, column 6. Those seven positions spell S → T → A → T → I → O → N.

Move left from the first S, go up, travel right twice, and then rise twice to the ending N. The route changes direction three times and consists of four straight segments, spanning four rows and three columns. Three cells touch an edge, and none occupies a corner. The first S has four open orthogonal neighbors, while the last N has two. This final trace raises the assigned count from 21 to 28, so no open cell remains uncovered.

Verification

What was checked

The August 27, 2026 date, Wend No. 80 label, six-by-six dimensions, open and blocked counts, answer spellings, and all four seven-cell paths were checked against the available official and independent source information. The coordinate sequences also match the stated letters and orthogonal movement.

Player FAQ

Questions about the August 27 edition

Which edition does this page cover?

It covers Wend No. 80 for August 27, 2026, using the edition date in the America/Los_Angeles timezone.

Can I get help without revealing the answer words?

Yes. Read the snapshot and approach, then stop before the walkthrough. They give the grid size, open-cell distribution, answer lengths, repeated-letter counts, and a solving method without showing the four words.

Why should I make four equal answer spaces?

The required lengths are 7, 7, 7, and 7. Their total is 28, exactly matching the number of open cells on this board.

What does the count of 14 open cells mean?

It means exactly 14 open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors in the untouched board layout. It does not say those cells are restricted by routes that have already been completed.

What should I recheck if my grid does not match this LinkedIn Wend answer?

Confirm that every word uses seven cells, every move crosses a shared edge, no blocked cell is used, and the four completed paths account for all 28 open cells.
