LinkedIn Wend Answer for September 20, 2026

Wend No. 104 uses a seven-row, seven-column board with six entries to place across every open cell. This LinkedIn Wend answer guide begins with spoiler-free counts and board checks, then puts the complete words and their exact traces behind the walkthrough disclosure.

Board snapshot

What to notice before revealing the answers

The September 20 board has 49 positions: 38 open cells and 11 blocked cells. Its open-cell silhouette is widest through the middle. From top to bottom, the rows contain 3, 7, 7, 4, 7, 7, and 3 open cells, so the first and seventh rows are narrow while four rows run fully across the board.

Read by column, the open-cell counts are 6, 5, 6, 4, 6, 5, and 6. That mirrored count pattern gives you a reliable way to check the board before tracing anything. Ten open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors; this is only a raw board-neighbor count, not a claim that those cells are constrained by completed routes.

The six required path lengths are 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Together they total 38, exactly matching the number of open cells. Repeated letters offer another check: E appears six times, N five times, A four times, and B, G, and R three times each. Several other letters appear twice, so position matters as much as spelling.

Spoiler-free approach

Use the board shape before committing to a route

Set up six answer slots in ascending length: 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 letters. Work from the supplied clue for each slot, but do not treat a plausible word as finished until its letters can be traced through orthogonally adjacent open cells. The unequal lengths help separate short possibilities from entries that must occupy a substantial stretch of the board.

Next, use the board’s silhouette as a placement check. The three-cell first and seventh rows offer fewer possible continuations than the full second, third, fifth, and sixth rows. The fourth row contains only four open cells, so any proposed trace entering it has fewer places to continue. Keep the row and column totals visible while testing where a word can turn.

Before opening the LinkedIn Wend answer, compare your six path lengths with the 38-cell total and review repeated letters carefully. E and N occur often enough that choosing the first matching copy can send a trace into the wrong area. Check the complete spelling, preserve blocked positions, and confirm that every open cell belongs to one path with no overlap or unused cell.

Answer walkthrough

Complete words and exact cell traces

The spoiler below gives the full LinkedIn Wend answer in required order, with every cell listed so you can compare a partial trace or check the finished board.

Open answer 1 route analysis

The three-letter path

Trace DEN through 1 at row 3, column 4; 2 at row 3, column 5; 3 at row 4, column 5. Read in that order, the cells give D → E → N and fill the shortest answer slot with one orthogonally connected trace.

Move right once from the starting cell, then turn downward for the final letter. The path spans two rows and two columns, with one turn and two straight segments. It does not visit an outer edge or corner; after these three cells are assigned, 35 open cells remain for the other five entries.

Open answer 2 route analysis

A five-letter route around the top edge

Follow SWEET through 1 at row 1, column 3; 2 at row 1, column 2; 3 at row 2, column 2; 4 at row 2, column 1; 5 at row 1, column 1. Those cells spell S → W → E → E → T without leaving the two top rows.

The movement sequence is left, down, left, and up, so each step after the first changes direction. Four cells lie on an outer edge, and the last cell is a corner. This trace uses three turns and four straight segments; once it joins the first entry, eight of the board’s 38 open cells are assigned.

Open answer 3 route analysis

The six-letter lower loop

Trace COBWEB along 1 at row 5, column 5; 2 at row 6, column 5; 3 at row 7, column 5; 4 at row 7, column 6; 5 at row 6, column 6; 6 at row 5, column 6. The ordered letters are C → O → B → W → E → B.

Travel down twice, turn right once, and then go up twice. That creates three straight segments with two direction changes across a three-row, two-column span. Two of its cells visit the board edge, but neither is a corner. Completing this word brings the running coverage to 14 open cells and leaves 24 still to assign.

Open answer 4 route analysis

The seven-letter rising path

Build FENCING through 1 at row 5, column 2; 2 at row 5, column 3; 3 at row 4, column 3; 4 at row 3, column 3; 5 at row 2, column 3; 6 at row 2, column 4; 7 at row 2, column 5. The sequence reads F → E → N → C → I → N → G.

Begin with one step right, climb three cells, and finish with two steps right. The trace therefore has two turns and three straight segments, spanning four rows and four columns without touching an outer edge or corner. Once these seven cells are included, 21 open cells are covered and 17 remain for the last two entries.

Open answer 5 route analysis

The eight-letter edge descent

Follow FRAGRANT through 1 at row 3, 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 5, column 7; 7 at row 6, column 7; 8 at row 7, column 7. The cells spell F → R → A → G → R → A → N → T.

Go up once, right once, and then descend five times. The long final segment accounts for six edge visits and ends at a corner. Overall, the route spans six rows but only two columns, using two turns and three straight segments. Adding it raises the covered-cell count to 29, leaving exactly nine open cells.

Open answer 6 route analysis

The nine-letter closing route

Complete BARGAINED 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 6, column 2; 7 at row 6, column 3; 8 at row 6, column 4; 9 at row 5, column 4. This gives B → A → R → G → A → I → N → E → D.

Move left, descend three times, turn right for three steps, and finish by moving up. The four straight segments contain three turns and span four rows and four columns. Four cells visit an outer edge, with no corner included. These nine cells raise the assigned total from 29 to all 38 open cells, leaving none unused.

How this edition was checked

Verification and source limits

The date, puzzle number, board dimensions, open and blocked counts, answer order, word lengths, and orthogonal traces were checked. The edition was also compared across third-party pages. Those pages may share an upstream source, so their agreement does not establish that the information was gathered independently.

Player questions

Wend No. 104 FAQ

Can I use this guide without seeing the LinkedIn Wend answer?

Yes. Stay above the walkthrough disclosure and use the seven-by-seven dimensions, the 38 open cells, the row and column counts, the six answer lengths, and the repeated-letter totals as checks. None of those sections reveals a completed word.

How many paths should I complete on the September 20 board?

You need six paths, with lengths of 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 letters. Their lengths total 38, so a complete solution must account for every open cell while leaving all 11 blocked positions untouched.

What does the count of ten low-neighbor open cells mean?

It means ten open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors on the raw board. The count describes only the original board geometry. It does not mean those cells are constrained by routes you have already completed or by any particular solving order.

How can I check my finished Wend No. 104 board?

Count six non-overlapping paths and confirm that their lengths match the required sequence. Together they should cover all 38 open cells, with no open cell left over and no blocked position used. Then compare the spelling of each entry with its supplied clue.

Is Wendtoday an official LinkedIn answer source?

No. Wendtoday is an unofficial helper and is not affiliated with LinkedIn. This record was assembled from checked third-party information rather than facts obtained directly from LinkedIn, and the compared pages may ultimately rely on the same upstream source.
