Board at a glance

Four paths fill 23 open cells

This board has five rows and five columns. Of its 25 cells, 23 are open and two are blocked. The first, third, and fifth rows are fully open; the second and fourth rows each have four open cells. The columns follow the same open-cell pattern: five, four, five, four, five. That alternating shape gives you a useful way to check what you see before tracing any words.

The four path lengths are four, five, six, and eight letters. Together they account for all 23 open cells, so a complete set of paths has no spare open cell. Use that total as a check on your progress: a word that looks plausible still needs a route of the right length, and the finished routes need to fit together without sharing a cell.

Repeated letters deserve a second look on this board. C appears three times, while A, E, H, I, O, and R each appear twice. When you test a spelling, check which instance your trace reaches instead of assuming matching letters can stand in for one another. Eight open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors on the raw board; that figure describes their neighbors before any route is drawn.

Hints before the reveal

Use the lengths, then check the turns

Keep four answer slots in view: four, five, six, and eight letters, in that order. Their lengths rise steadily, but their routes do not all move in the same way. Try reading a candidate through consecutive open cells and count each cell once. If the spelling works only by skipping a cell, crossing a block, or reusing a position, set that trace aside and test another.

The board offers two checks that work well together. Its open rows and columns alternate between five and four cells, while the repeated letters give several possible places to continue a trace. Follow the letters one step at a time, then compare the shape of your proposed route with the space available. A turn can matter as much as the next letter, especially when several copies of a letter are visible.

For a stronger nudge, check how many open cells should remain after each of the first three paths: 19, then 14, then eight. Those checkpoints can expose an overlap before you reach the final slot. When two copies of a letter look possible, test what comes next against the unused cells. Stay here if you want to solve from the board; the walkthrough holds the LinkedIn Wend answer.

Full spoiler

Words and routes

The four entries below give the complete LinkedIn Wend answer in path order. Each numbered position is one open cell, and the letters are read in that same order. Compare the whole trace with your board if a matching word appears to start in more than one place.

Open answer 1 route analysis

The four-cell route

Trace OPEN 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. Read those cells as O, P, E, N. The route begins with a downward move, then turns left and continues left for its final letter.

All four cells lie on the board’s edge. The turn comes after P, so the last two moves run in one direction rather than making another corner. Once this four-letter path is placed, four of the 23 open cells are assigned and 19 remain for the three longer paths.

Check the shape as well as the spelling: this path spans two rows and three columns, with its final three letters on the same row. Its single turn is at row 5, column 5. A trace with another turn may still collect familiar letters, but it does not follow this four-cell route.

Open answer 2 route analysis

A route that alternates its moves

Follow THICK through 1 at row 4, column 3; 2 at row 4, column 4; 3 at row 3, column 4; 4 at row 3, column 5; 5 at row 2, column 5. The letters read T, H, I, C, K. Move right, up, right, and up; each move changes direction from the one before it.

That alternating shape gives you a clear check if the word fits but your trace feels uncertain. It has four straight segments and three turns, with no second step in any one direction. Adding its five cells to the first route brings the assigned total to nine, leaving 14 open cells for the remaining two words.

The route spans rows 2 through 4 and columns 3 through 5. It takes two upward steps and two rightward steps, never moving left or down. K is its only letter in row 2, so reaching that row earlier means you have changed the path order.

Open answer 3 route analysis

Across, upward, then across

Trace SCORCH through 1 at row 3, column 2; 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 1, column 5. In order, those cells give S, C, O, R, C, H.

The first move goes right. Two upward moves follow, then two rightward moves finish the path. That makes three straight stretches joined by two turns. Notice that the word uses two different C cells; reading the letters without tracing both positions would miss an essential part of this route. With these six cells assigned, eight open cells remain.

Use R at row 1, column 3 to check the second turn: the trace rises into that cell and then travels right for its last two letters. The first C comes before the upward stretch, while the second comes after it. Their order matters because matching the spelling alone does not show which C belongs at each point.

Open answer 4 route analysis

The eight-cell finish

Complete VARIABLE through 1 at row 1, column 1; 2 at row 1, column 2; 3 at row 2, column 2; 4 at row 2, column 1; 5 at row 3, column 1; 6 at row 4, column 1; 7 at row 5, column 1; 8 at row 5, column 2. The letters read V, A, R, I, A, B, L, E.

This route moves right, down, left, down three times, and right. Those changes make four turns. It also uses the two A cells in a specific order, so keep tracing after the first A rather than jumping to the second. Its eight positions are exactly the open cells left by the preceding paths: the assigned total reaches 23, with none remaining.

Seven of these eight cells lie on the board’s edge. The brief passage through row 2, column 2 connects the opening pair to the long downward stretch in column 1. After that stretch, one rightward step reaches row 5, column 2 and completes both the word and the board’s open-cell count.

About this guide

What the checks support

The edition date, puzzle number, board counts, words, and routes were compared across third-party pages. Those pages may share an upstream source, so their agreement does not establish separate origins. These facts were not obtained directly from LinkedIn.

The four listed routes spell the stated words in order, do not overlap, and cover all 23 open cells. Wendtoday is unofficial and is not affiliated with LinkedIn. This LinkedIn Wend answer is a guide to the September 23 board, not a statement from the game’s publisher.

Questions about Wend No. 107

How many paths are on the September 23 board?

There are four. Their lengths are four, five, six, and eight cells, which add up to all 23 open cells.

Do the two blocked cells count toward a path?

No. The board has 25 positions in total, but the four paths cover its 23 open cells.

Which letter appears most often?

C appears three times. Six other letters appear twice, so check the position as well as the letter when following a trace.

Where should I look for a stronger hint without revealing the words?

Use the remaining-cell counts. After the first three paths, you should have 19, then 14, then eight open cells left to cover.

How can I check a completed LinkedIn Wend answer?

Confirm four separate paths of the stated lengths. Together they should cover every open cell once, with no blocked cell included.
