Board snapshot

A compact five-by-five board with four paths

This board has five rows and five columns, giving it 25 positions in all. Eighteen cells are open and seven are blocked. The open-cell totals by row are 5, 3, 2, 3, and 5, so the first and fifth rows are fully open while the three interior rows contain visible breaks. That shape is worth checking before you commit any candidate to the board.

The column totals add another useful check: columns one through five contain 5, 2, 4, 2, and 5 open cells. Columns one and five are fully open, while columns two and four each have only two open cells. Sixteen open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors. That is strictly a raw count of board neighbors above, below, left, or right; it does not mean those cells are constrained by completed routes.

Four answer lengths account for all 18 open cells: 3, 4, 5, and 6 letters. Letter frequency can help you notice a bad transcription without revealing the words. H appears six times on the open board, while C, E, and T each appear twice. Every other visible letter appears once, so repeated H cells deserve especially careful attention when you test a candidate spelling.

Spoiler-free approach

Use the board shape before revealing the routes

Begin by making four slots of 3, 4, 5, and 6 letters in that order. Their combined length is 18, matching the number of open cells, so there is no spare open position once all four routes are placed. Keep each candidate at its required length and trace only through orthogonally adjacent open cells. A diagonal jump or a move through a blocked cell is enough to reject a proposed route.

Next, use the board’s strong outer structure. The first and fifth rows are uninterrupted, and the first and fifth columns are also fully open. By contrast, the interior rows hold only three, two, and three open cells. When a candidate seems plausible, follow it one letter at a time and watch where the blocked positions force you to stop, continue straight, or turn. This keeps the geometry in view without exposing the completed solution.

If two spellings still seem possible, compare them against the letter inventory rather than guessing from a single starting cell. The board contains six Hs but only two each of C, E, and T, and the four path lengths increase one letter at a time. Check the complete spelling, the exact number of cells used, and every orthogonal transition. Open the walkthrough only when you want the LinkedIn Wend answer and its full route evidence.

Spoiler walkthrough

All four words and their exact paths

The entries below give the four answers in the required order. Each numbered trace follows adjacent open cells, spells the stated word without alteration, and shows how the complete LinkedIn Wend answer covers all 18 open cells.

Open answer 1 route analysis

Answer 1: a three-cell route with one turn

Trace HUB through 1 at row 2, column 1; 2 at row 1, column 1; 3 at row 1, column 2. Reading those cells in order gives H → U → B. The route starts at row 2, column 1 and finishes at row 1, column 2, using exactly the three cells required by the shortest answer.

From row 2, column 1, move up to row 1, column 1, then turn right to row 1, column 2. That produces one upward move, one rightward move, one turn, and two straight segments. All three cells touch an outer edge, and row 1, column 1 is the route’s single corner visit. After this word is assigned, 15 open cells remain for the other three answers.

Open answer 2 route analysis

Answer 2: left once, then upward twice

Follow ECHO through 1 at row 5, column 2; 2 at row 5, column 1; 3 at row 4, column 1; 4 at row 3, column 1. The letters read E → C → H → O. Its four positions extend across three rows and two columns, starting at row 5, column 2 and ending at row 3, column 1.

Move left from row 5, column 2 to row 5, column 1. Turn upward and continue through row 4, column 1 to row 3, column 1. The direction pattern is left, up, up, so the route changes direction once and contains two straight segments. Every cell lies on an outer edge, with row 5, column 1 providing the one corner visit. Together, the first two answers account for seven open cells, leaving 11.

Open answer 3 route analysis

Answer 3: a five-cell sweep with two turns

Build HATCH through 1 at row 4, column 5; 2 at row 5, column 5; 3 at row 5, column 4; 4 at row 5, column 3; 5 at row 4, column 3. In path order, the cells spell H → A → T → C → H. The word begins at row 4, column 5 and finishes at row 4, column 3 after covering five cells across two rows and three columns.

Go down from row 4, column 5 to row 5, column 5, turn left, and continue through row 5, column 4 to row 5, column 3. A final upward turn reaches row 4, column 3. The full movement pattern is down, left, left, up, producing two turns and three straight segments. Four route cells touch an outer edge, and row 5, column 5 is the single corner visit. Once this path is added, six open cells remain.

Open answer 4 route analysis

Answer 4: the six-cell finishing route

Complete HEIGHT through 1 at row 2, column 3; 2 at row 1, column 3; 3 at row 1, column 4; 4 at row 1, column 5; 5 at row 2, column 5; 6 at row 3, column 5. Reading in order gives H → E → I → G → H → T. It starts at row 2, column 3 and ends at row 3, column 5, spanning three rows and three columns.

From row 2, column 3, move up to row 1, column 3. Turn right and pass through row 1, column 4 to row 1, column 5, then turn down through row 2, column 5 to row 3, column 5. That is up, right, right, down, down: two turns and three straight segments. Five cells are on an outer edge, with row 1, column 5 as the route’s one corner visit. These six positions bring the assigned total to all 18 open cells.

How this edition was checked

Route and source notes

For the September 14, 2026 edition, the puzzle number, board dimensions, open and blocked counts, answer order, spellings, and cell-by-cell routes were checked for internal agreement. The four path lengths total 18, and their listed cells account for the board’s 18 open positions.

For Wend No. 98 on September 14, the dated pages from minutecryptic.today and puzzlegames.fun supplied matching boards and all four routes. Their agreement is useful as a cross-check, but both sites may draw from the same upstream source. No direct LinkedIn capture was used for this edition. This guide is published by Wendtoday, an unofficial helper with no LinkedIn affiliation.

Player questions

Wend No. 98 FAQ

Can I use this page without revealing every answer?

Yes. Stay with the snapshot and approach for board counts, answer lengths, letter frequency, and solving checks. The words and exact routes appear only inside the spoiler walkthrough.

How many answers are on the September 14 board?

There are four answers. Their lengths are 3, 4, 5, and 6 letters, which together use the board’s 18 open cells.

What should I recheck if my routes leave an unused open cell?

Count each route against its required length, then inspect every move for orthogonal adjacency. Also confirm that you did not cross one of the seven blocked cells or reuse a position.

Why are repeated H letters useful on this edition?

H appears six times, more than any other letter on the open board. That makes it important to confirm the whole spelling and path instead of accepting a candidate merely because its first H fits.

Where is the complete LinkedIn Wend answer shown?
