Board snapshot

A seven-by-seven board with five paths

Wend No. 96 has 40 open cells and nine blocked cells across seven rows and seven columns. The open-cell totals by row are 3, 7, 4, 7, 5, 7, and 7. That alternating shape matters: the first row is sparse, while the second, fourth, sixth, and seventh rows are fully open.

The columns are unusually even. Columns 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7 each contain six open cells, while columns 3 and 5 each contain five. Twelve open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors; this is strictly a raw board-neighbor count, not a statement about cells restricted by completed routes.

Letter repetition is another useful check on this board. A, E, and T each appear six times. C, D, L, R, and U each appear three times, while N appears twice. Because several paths use recurring letters, match a candidate against both its required length and the remaining open cells before committing it.

Spoiler-light approach

Use length and board shape before revealing a word

Begin with five answer slots measuring 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 letters. Their starting letters, in order, are A, O, C, A, and A. Keeping those lengths visible gives you a quick way to reject a promising word that does not fit the exact number of cells.

Treat every blocked cell as a fixed interruption in the board. Trace only between open cells that touch orthogonally, and count each cell as you go. The sparse first row offers fewer continuations, while the fully open rows give repeated letters more possible approaches, so check the next letter before extending a line.

If you want only a nudge, work through the paths in increasing length and stop as soon as one route unlocks the surrounding space. When several copies of A, E, or T seem possible, compare what each choice leaves available for the longer slots. Open the walkthrough only when you want the full LinkedIn Wend answer and exact cell order.

Spoiler walkthrough

Complete answer paths for Wend No. 96

The five entries below reveal the LinkedIn Wend answer in its recorded order. Each item gives the exact cells, followed by a plain-language movement check so you can compare it with the line on your board.

Open answer 1 route analysis

Answer 1: AGENDA

Trace AGENDA through these cells: 1 at row 5, column 1; 2 at row 4, column 1; 3 at row 3, column 1; 4 at row 2, column 1; 5 at row 2, column 2; 6 at row 1, column 2. The letters read A → G → E → N → D → A.

The route rises three times, turns right once, and then rises for the final letter. That produces two turns and three straight segments across a five-row span and a two-column span. It visits an edge five times without entering a corner, assigns the first six cells, and leaves 34 open cells for the remaining paths.

Open answer 2 route analysis

Answer 2: ORDERLY

Follow ORDERLY along 1 at row 5, column 4; 2 at row 6, column 4; 3 at row 7, column 4; 4 at row 7, column 5; 5 at row 6, column 5; 6 at row 6, column 6; 7 at row 7, column 6. The sequence is O → R → D → E → R → L → Y.

Move down twice, right, up, right, and down. The path therefore has four turns and five straight segments, staying within a three-row and three-column span. Three of its cells lie on an edge, and none is a corner. Once it is added after the first word, 13 cells are assigned and 27 remain.

Open answer 3 route analysis

Answer 3: CULTURAL

Build CULTURAL from 1 at row 4, column 2; 2 at row 5, column 2; 3 at row 6, column 2; 4 at row 6, column 1; 5 at row 7, column 1; 6 at row 7, column 2; 7 at row 7, column 3; 8 at row 6, column 3. Those cells spell C → U → L → T → U → R → A → L.

The movement is down, down, left, down, right, right, and up. Count four turns and five straight segments across four rows and three columns. This route visits four edge cells, including one corner. With the first three answers placed, 21 of the 40 open cells are assigned and 19 are still available.

Open answer 4 route analysis

Answer 4: ATTEMPTED

Trace ATTEMPTED through 1 at row 1, column 4; 2 at row 2, column 4; 3 at row 2, column 5; 4 at row 3, column 5; 5 at row 4, column 5; 6 at row 4, column 4; 7 at row 4, column 3; 8 at row 3, column 3; 9 at row 2, column 3. The letters are A → T → T → E → M → P → T → E → D.

Go down, right, down twice, left twice, and up twice. This creates four turns and five straight segments within a four-row and three-column span. Only one cell in the route is on an edge, and no corner is used. Completing it brings the assigned total to 30, leaving exactly ten open cells for the final answer.

Open answer 5 route analysis

Answer 5: ACCENTUATE

Finish with ACCENTUATE: 1 at row 1, column 6; 2 at row 2, column 6; 3 at row 2, column 7; 4 at row 3, column 7; 5 at row 4, column 7; 6 at row 4, column 6; 7 at row 5, column 6; 8 at row 5, column 7; 9 at row 6, column 7; 10 at row 7, column 7. Read A → C → C → E → N → T → U → A → T → E.

From its start, move down, right, down twice, left, down, right, and down twice. The route changes direction six times, forming seven straight segments across all seven rows but only two columns. It makes seven edge visits and includes one corner. These ten cells raise the assigned total from 30 to 40, accounting for every open cell.

Verification notes

What was checked

The September 12, 2026 edition was checked as Wend No. 96. Its grid size, open and blocked totals, answer order, word lengths, cell sequences, letter sequences, movements, and final coverage were reviewed for consistency before presenting this LinkedIn Wend answer.

The edition was also compared across third-party pages. Those pages may share an upstream source, so their agreement does not establish source independence, and these facts were not obtained directly from LinkedIn. Wendtoday is an unofficial helper and is not affiliated with LinkedIn.
