Board snapshot

What stands out on the September 7 board

Wend No. 91 has five rows and five columns, but only 18 of its 25 cells are open; the other seven are blocked. The open-cell pattern is broad at the top and bottom, with five available cells in row 1 and another five in row 5. Rows 2, 3, and 4 contain three, two, and three open cells respectively, so the middle of the board narrows sharply.

The column shape is equally specific. Columns 1 through 5 contain two, five, four, five, and two open cells. That creates two fully open vertical runs in columns 2 and 4, while the outside columns offer only short entry or finishing areas. When a candidate seems promising, compare its turns with these narrow passages instead of looking at letter order alone.

Only two letters repeat on this board: E appears three times and A appears twice. Every other letter appears once, which makes uncommon sequences useful for rejecting a false trace. The four required lengths are 3, 4, 5, and 6 letters, totaling all 18 open cells. In raw board terms, six open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors; that count refers only to the cells directly available above, below, left, or right.

Spoiler-light guidance

How to narrow the routes without revealing the words

Set up four slots with lengths 3, 4, 5, and 6, then note the supplied starting-letter order: H, F, S, and E. Begin with the three-letter slot because its short trace gives you a compact section of the board to test. After that, work upward by length so each confirmed route reduces the number of open cells you still need to consider.

Move only between orthogonally adjacent open cells. On this board, the blocked cells interrupt several apparent letter chains, especially through the three narrow middle rows. Check each step physically on the grid: a matching letter does not help if reaching it requires a diagonal move, crossing a blocked cell, or jumping over another position.

Use the repeated letters with care. The three Es can support more than one tempting fragment, while the two As can make separate partial routes appear plausible. Length, starting letter, and uninterrupted orthogonal movement should agree before you commit. If you want the full LinkedIn Wend answer, open the walkthrough and compare one route at a time rather than exposing all four at once.

Complete answers and exact cell routes

The walkthrough below reveals every answer in the recorded order. Each item gives the complete word, the exact numbered cells, the movement pattern, and a few checks you can use against the board. Open only the item you need if you are still solving the rest of the LinkedIn Wend answer.

Open answer 1 route analysis

A three-cell horizontal trace

Trace HOP from the bottom row by following these cells: 1 at row 5, column 3; 2 at row 5, column 2; 3 at row 5, column 1. Reading them in order produces H, then O, then P, so the word begins at the third column and finishes at the first column.

Both moves go left, giving this route no turns and one straight segment. It spans one row and three columns, and all three cells lie on an edge of the grid. The final P has one open orthogonal neighbor, while the starting H has three. Marking the route accounts for three open cells and leaves 15 for the remaining words. Check the reading direction before stopping: following the same three cells from the opposite end would reverse the letter order. The accepted trace begins with H and uses exactly two moves.

Open answer 2 route analysis

A short route with two turns

Trace FLAT through four positions: 1 at row 4, column 3; 2 at row 4, column 4; 3 at row 5, column 4; 4 at row 5, column 5. Those cells read F, L, A, and T without leaving the lower portion of the board.

The movement is right, down, and right. Because the direction changes after both the first and second moves, the route has two turns and three straight segments. It spans two rows and three columns, visits two edge cells, and finishes at a corner whose T has one open orthogonal neighbor. With this word added after the first, seven cells are accounted for and 11 remain. Keep the two turns separate as you trace: the first changes a horizontal move into a vertical one, and the second brings you back to a horizontal move. Four cells require three moves.

Open answer 3 route analysis

A top-edge start followed by a long descent

Trace SUGAR along 1 at row 1, column 1; 2 at row 1, column 2; 3 at row 2, column 2; 4 at row 3, column 2; 5 at row 4, column 2. The letters appear as S, U, G, A, and R in that precise order.

Start by moving right once, then continue down three times. That creates one turn and two straight segments across a span of four rows and two columns. The starting S has one open orthogonal neighbor, while the ending R has three. Two cells touch the grid edge, including the corner start. Once this route is marked, 12 of the 18 open cells are accounted for and six remain. The downward section stays in one column for its entire length. After the initial rightward step, no further sideways movement is needed; a sideways detour would leave this recorded five-cell route.

Open answer 4 route analysis

The six-cell finish through the upper board

Complete EXCEED with 1 at row 1, column 5; 2 at row 1, column 4; 3 at row 1, column 3; 4 at row 2, column 3; 5 at row 2, column 4; 6 at row 3, column 4. Reading those cells gives E, X, C, E, E, and D, including all three E positions on the board.

Move left twice, down once, right once, and down once. The route changes direction three times, forms four straight segments, and spans three rows by three columns. Its starting E is a corner cell with one open orthogonal neighbor, while the ending D has two. Three route cells lie on an edge. Adding these six cells to the previous 12 accounts for all 18 open cells, leaving none unused. Distinguish the opening E from the later pair by following the intervening X and C. The last two Es are consecutive cells on one row, followed by the downward step to D.

Solution check

How this edition was checked

For this LinkedIn Wend answer, the date, Wend No. 91, board and complete paths were compared across two public third-party pages. One page archives the puzzle fields with a capture timestamp. The pages agree, though they may share an upstream source; this check did not obtain the puzzle directly from LinkedIn.

The four paths were then checked cell by cell. Every listed coordinate contains the stated letter, every consecutive move is orthogonal, and the four route lengths account for the 18 open cells. Wendtoday is unofficial and is not affiliated with LinkedIn.

Player questions

Wend No. 91 FAQ

Which edition does this page cover?

It covers Wend No. 91 dated September 7, 2026, using the America/Los_Angeles puzzle date. The board has five rows, five columns, 18 open cells, and seven blocked cells.

How many answers are in this edition?

There are four answers, with lengths of 3, 4, 5, and 6 letters. Their supplied starting letters, in order, are H, F, S, and E.

What should I check when a candidate almost fits?

Confirm every move is up, down, left, or right. A candidate must stay on open cells, match its required length, and cannot rely on a diagonal step or a jump across the board.

What does the six-cell neighbor count mean?

It means six open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors on the raw board. It does not say those cells are constrained by completed routes.

Where can I see the complete LinkedIn Wend answer?
