Board snapshot

A 5-by-5 board with three exact path lengths

This board contains 25 positions arranged in five rows and five columns. Twenty-one cells are open and four are blocked. Reading across the board, the open-cell counts are 5, 5, 3, 3, and 5, so the first two rows and the fifth row are fully open while the third and fourth rows each contain three open cells.

The column profile is 5, 3, 5, 3, and 5. That alternating outline gives you a useful way to check a trace before committing to it: columns one, three, and five each contain five open cells, while columns two and four each contain three. In the raw board layout, 12 open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors. That number describes only the board’s unfilled neighbor relationships; it does not say those cells are constrained by completed routes.

The three required lengths are 6, 7, and 8, which total all 21 open cells. Repeated letters are important confirmation points: E occurs five times, T four times, I and R three times each, and L and X twice each. Those counts help distinguish a plausible spelling from a trace that uses the right length but the wrong instance of a repeated letter.

Spoiler-aware approach

Build the board from its three path sizes

Set up three slots of 6, 7, and 8 letters. If you want a stronger nudge without revealing the full words, their first letters are E, T, and L in that order. Use those initials with the length pattern, but keep checking the actual cell sequence rather than selecting a word merely because its spelling fits a slot.

Let the board’s silhouette guide your tracing. The row counts narrow through the third and fourth rows, while the first, second, and fifth rows remain fully open. A proposed path should therefore agree with both the visible letters and that open-cell outline. Count every used cell once, and check repeated E, T, I, R, L, and X positions carefully whenever more than one instance appears usable.

After placing a candidate, subtract its length from the 21 open cells. The verified progression leaves 15 cells after the six-letter route, then 8 after the seven-letter route, and zero after the final route. If your totals or remaining shapes disagree, retrace before you open the LinkedIn Wend answer; a length match by itself is not enough.

Answer and route walkthrough

Reveal all three paths

The disclosure contains the full LinkedIn Wend answer in the required order. Each route follows adjacent open cells and includes a coordinate-by-coordinate check. Together, the three paths assign all 21 open cells: six cells first, seven more next, and the final eight last.

Open answer 1 route analysis

ELIXIR — the six-cell route

Trace ELIXIR through 1 at row 5, column 2; 2 at row 5, column 3; 3 at row 5, column 4; 4 at row 5, column 5; 5 at row 4, column 5; 6 at row 3, column 5. Reading those cells in sequence gives E → L → I → X → I → R, so both instances of I fall into their required positions.

The movement is right three times and then up twice. That produces two straight segments with a single turn, spanning three rows and four columns. All six cells touch a board edge, and one of them is a corner. Both the starting and ending cells have two open orthogonal neighbors in the raw board.

Once this route is assigned, 6 of the 21 open cells are used and 15 remain. Its long horizontal run followed by the upward finish makes the geometry straightforward to audit: confirm the three consecutive rightward steps first, then make the one turn and complete the two-cell climb.

Open answer 2 route analysis

TEXTURE — the seven-cell route

Follow TEXTURE through 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; 7 at row 1, column 1. The letters read T → E → X → T → U → R → E in path order.

Begin with three upward moves, turn right once, go up once more, and finish with one move left. This route has three turns and four straight segments. It spans all five rows but only two columns, visits six edge cells, and includes two corner cells. Its start and end each have two open orthogonal neighbors in the untouched board layout.

Adding these seven cells to the first six raises the assigned total to 13 and leaves 8 open cells. The useful check here is the tall opening run: four consecutive path positions stay in one column before the route steps across, rises, and returns left. Confirm that sequence if the two E letters or two T letters cause uncertainty.

Open answer 3 route analysis

LITERATE — the eight-cell route

Complete LITERATE along 1 at row 4, column 3; 2 at row 3, column 3; 3 at row 2, column 3; 4 at row 1, column 3; 5 at row 1, column 4; 6 at row 2, column 4; 7 at row 2, column 5; 8 at row 1, column 5. In order, the cells spell L → I → T → E → R → A → T → E.

Move up three times, right once, down once, right once, and up once. The path changes direction four times across five straight segments, spans four rows and three columns, and never moves left. Four of its cells lie on a board edge, with one corner visit. As with the other two routes, each endpoint has two open orthogonal neighbors in the raw layout.

These eight positions are exactly the cells left after the first two routes. Assigning them brings the running count from 13 to 21, leaving no open cell unused. For a final geometry check, look for the initial three-step climb, followed by the alternating right, down, right, and up finish. That pattern confirms the full spelling without relying on length alone.

How this edition was checked

What the guide confirms

The date, Wend number, board dimensions, open and blocked counts, letter frequencies, answer order, path lengths, coordinates, movement directions, and final 21-cell coverage were checked for internal agreement. The three route lengths total the board’s 21 open cells.

This 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 unofficial and is not affiliated with LinkedIn; the LinkedIn Wend answer shown here is an unofficial player guide.

Wend No. 106 questions

Quick checks for the September 22 board

Can I use this page without revealing the three words?

Yes. Stay with the snapshot and approach sections for the 5-by-5 dimensions, row and column profiles, letter counts, and 6-7-8 length pattern.

How many paths does Wend No. 106 require?

The board is covered by three paths containing 6, 7, and 8 cells. Their lengths add to all 21 open cells.

What does the count of 12 low-neighbor open cells mean?

It means 12 open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors in the raw board layout. It does not describe restrictions created by completed routes.

When should I reveal the LinkedIn Wend answer?

Reveal it when the length pattern, initials, repeated-letter counts, and board outline no longer give you enough of a nudge.

How can I check a completed September 22 board?

Confirm three non-overlapping paths of 6, 7, and 8 cells, with every one of the 21 open cells assigned once and none left over.
