Board snapshot

What to notice before revealing the words

The September 21 board is a five-row, five-column grid with 25 total positions. Eighteen positions are open and seven are blocked, so the completed paths must account for exactly 18 letters. The required answer lengths are 3, 4, 5, and 6; together, those lengths also total 18.

Across the rows, the open-cell counts descend as 5, 4, 4, 3, and 2. The columns contain 5, 5, 3, 4, and 1 open cells. That uneven outline gives you a useful placement check: a proposed path may spell cleanly but still conflict with the amount of usable space in a row or column.

The letter inventory supplies another check. J appears four times, while E, T, and U each appear twice. Five open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors; that is only a raw count of how many open cells touch no more than two other open cells above, below, left, or right. It does not describe constraints created by completed routes.

Spoiler-free approach

Use length, initials, and coverage together

Prepare four answer slots in ascending length: 3, 4, 5, and 6 letters. Their first letters are J, J, E, and A in that order. This separates the two J entries by length and gives you a firm starting pattern without exposing any complete word.

Check every candidate against the board rather than relying on spelling alone. The four lengths must consume all 18 open cells, and the repeated-letter inventory must still work after each placement. If a candidate forces an extra copy of J, E, T, or U, or leaves the remaining lengths unable to cover the remaining cells, revise it before tracing farther.

Use the row and column profiles as a second layer of confirmation. A clean solution must fit the board’s narrowing lower rows as well as its single-open-cell fifth column. If those checks and the J, J, E, A initials are no longer enough, the walkthrough reveals the LinkedIn Wend answer in increasing word-length order.

Answer and route walkthrough

Complete solution for Wend No. 105

The spoiler section below gives every word and the complete route evidence for this edition. Read one item at a time if you want a staged reveal of the LinkedIn Wend answer rather than all four paths at once.

Open answer 1 route analysis

The 3-letter path: JOB

Trace JOB straight across three cells: 1 at row 1, column 5; 2 at row 1, column 4; 3 at row 1, column 3. The letters appear as J → O → B, with two consecutive moves to the left and no turn.

This route occupies one straight segment spanning three columns within one row. All three cells touch the board edge, including one corner visit. Its starting cell has one open orthogonal neighbor, while its ending cell has three. Assigning this path covers 3 of the 18 open cells and leaves 15 for the other three words.

For a quick route check, count two movements and make sure both go left. Any turn would contradict the one-segment geometry, while any additional step would exceed the required length of three. This compact horizontal trace also explains why its row span is one even though its column span is three.

Open answer 2 route analysis

The 4-letter path: JUMP

Follow JUMP through 1 at row 4, column 4; 2 at row 3, column 4; 3 at row 2, column 4; 4 at row 2, column 3. That produces J → U → M → P in the verified order.

The route climbs twice, then turns left once. It therefore has one turn and two straight segments, spanning three rows and two columns without visiting an edge or corner. The starting cell has one open orthogonal neighbor, and the ending cell has four. With this path added after the 3-letter entry, 7 cells are assigned and 11 remain.

Notice where the route changes its behavior: the first three positions stay in one column, and only the final move changes the column. That structure gives you two separate checks. The repeated upward motion accounts for the three-row span, while the last leftward step produces the two-column span and the route’s single turn.

Open answer 3 route analysis

The 5-letter path: EJECT

Build EJECT from 1 at row 3, column 1; 2 at row 2, column 1; 3 at row 2, column 2; 4 at row 1, column 2; 5 at row 1, column 1. Reading those cells in sequence gives E → J → E → C → T.

The motion is up, right, up, and left. Because the direction changes after every move, the path contains three turns and four straight segments. It spans three rows and two columns, visits the edge four times, and includes one corner. The starting cell has three open orthogonal neighbors; the ending cell has two. Once assigned, the first three paths cover 12 cells and leave 6.

A reliable way to audit this trace is to compare each move with the one before it. No direction repeats consecutively, so every step after the first begins a new straight segment. The two upward moves create the three-row reach, while the right and left moves keep the whole path within a two-column span.

Open answer 4 route analysis

The 6-letter path: ADJUST

Finish with ADJUST along 1 at row 3, column 3; 2 at row 3, column 2; 3 at row 4, column 2; 4 at row 4, column 1; 5 at row 5, column 1; 6 at row 5, column 2. The resulting sequence is A → D → J → U → S → T.

This route moves left, down, left, down, and right. Its direction changes four times, creating five straight segments across a span of three rows and three columns. Three cells visit an edge, and one of those visits is a corner. The start has three open orthogonal neighbors and the end has two. Adding these six cells raises the assigned total from 12 to all 18 open cells, leaving none unused.

Use the alternating movement as the final safeguard: after the opening left step, the trace goes down, left, down, and then right. Since none of the five consecutive moves repeats the preceding direction, each move forms its own straight segment. The six-cell total also matches exactly the six positions left after the first three routes are assigned.

How this edition was checked

Board and route verification

The date, Wend number, grid dimensions, open and blocked totals, letter inventory, answer lengths, answer order, and complete coordinate sequences were checked together. The four supplied paths account for all 18 open cells in groups of 3, 4, 5, and 6.

This edition was also compared across third-party pages. Those pages may share an upstream source, so the comparison does not establish source independence, and these facts were not obtained directly from LinkedIn.

Player questions

Wend No. 105 FAQ

Can I use this page without revealing the four words?

Yes. Stay with the snapshot and approach sections, where you can use the five-by-five dimensions, the 18 open cells, the four path lengths, the initials, and the repeated-letter counts without seeing a complete answer.

How many paths complete the September 21 board?

Four paths complete it. Their lengths are 3, 4, 5, and 6 letters, which sum to the board’s 18 open cells.

What should I check before opening the LinkedIn Wend answer?

Confirm that your candidate lengths total 18, begin with J, J, E, and A in order, and remain compatible with four Js plus two each of E, T, and U.

What does the five-cell neighbor count tell me?

It means five open cells each have at most two open orthogonal neighbors on the untouched board. It is a raw board-neighbor count, not a statement about restrictions caused by routes already placed.

Which edition does this guide cover?

It covers Wend No. 105 dated September 21, 2026, using the America/Los_Angeles edition date supplied for this board.
