Board snapshot

A compact five-by-five board with alternating open rows

This board has 25 positions arranged in five rows and five columns. Nineteen cells are open and six are blocked, so the four answer lengths—3, 4, 5, and 7—account for every open cell exactly once. That total is a useful check before you commit any path. It also means a completed solution should use four separate routes without leaving an open cell behind or assigning any open cell twice.

The open-cell pattern alternates by row: rows 1, 3, and 5 contain three open cells apiece, while rows 2 and 4 contain five apiece. Read by column, the open-cell counts are 4, 3, 5, 3, and 4. Those matching outer counts and matching inner counts give the board a clear counting structure. You can compare both profiles with your developing routes instead of relying only on whether the letters appear to spell a possible word.

Repeated letters deserve attention because several candidate paths can appear plausible at first glance. E occurs four times, S three times, and O and T twice each. Those repetitions make the exact orthogonal sequence more useful than letter recognition alone. Separately, 10 open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors; that is only a raw count of open board neighbors, not a claim that those cells are constrained by completed routes.

Spoiler-aware approach

Narrow the board before revealing full paths

Begin with four answer slots of 3, 4, 5, and 7 letters. If lengths alone do not give you enough traction, reveal the supplied first letters in the same order: U, P, A, and C. Keeping that order visible helps you test candidates without exposing the full LinkedIn Wend answer. The lengths add to 19, so every accepted route should contribute directly to a complete covering of the open board.

Let the alternating row counts act as a ledger. A completed set must consume three cells from each of rows 1, 3, and 5, plus five cells from each of rows 2 and 4. The column totals provide a second check: 4, 3, 5, 3, and 4. If either profile stops balancing, revisit the latest placement. Checking rows and columns together is especially useful here because the middle column contains five open cells while the two adjacent columns contain three each.

When choosing between repeated copies of E, S, O, or T, check orthogonal continuity before settling on a spelling. The board’s 10 open cells with at most two open orthogonal neighbors can help you identify where movement has fewer available options, but treat that count as board geometry only. For a stronger nudge, the seven-letter route starts in the lower-left corner and changes direction four times. Open the walkthrough when you want exact words and routes.

Full spoiler walkthrough

Every answer and every cell

The complete LinkedIn Wend answer appears below in the verified order. Each entry gives the word, the exact numbered cells, the movement pattern, and a running open-cell total so you can compare your board without guessing which repeated letter was intended.

Open answer 1 route analysis

USE rises in one straight segment

Trace USE through 1 at row 5, column 3; 2 at row 4, column 3; 3 at row 3, column 3. The letters read U → S → E, and both moves go upward, so the path stays in one column without turning.

The starting cell has one open orthogonal neighbor, while the ending cell has four. This first route assigns three cells and leaves 16 of the board’s 19 open cells unassigned. Its row span is three and its column span is one, which gives you a compact check on the straight vertical shape.

There are two upward moves, no movement in any other direction, and only one straight segment. If your three-letter trace bends or changes columns, it does not match this route. The single edge visit occurs at the start, while neither endpoint is a corner cell.

Open answer 2 route analysis

POSE makes two turns on the right side

Follow POSE through 1 at row 5, column 5; 2 at row 4, column 5; 3 at row 4, column 4; 4 at row 3, column 4. Read in path order, the letters are P → O → S → E.

Move up, then left, then up again. That produces two turns and three straight segments across a row span of three and a column span of two. The route visits two edge cells, including one corner. Once it is added after the first entry, seven cells are assigned and 12 remain.

The alternating movement is the clearest shape check: the path never repeats a direction and never moves down or right. Its start has one open orthogonal neighbor, while its end has three. That difference helps distinguish the intended beginning from the final E when you compare the numbered sequence.

Open answer 3 route analysis

AGILE crosses the second row before rising

Trace AGILE through 1 at row 1, column 5; 2 at row 2, column 5; 3 at row 2, column 4; 4 at row 2, column 3; 5 at row 1, column 3. Those cells spell A → G → I → L → E in order.

The movement is down, left, left, and up. The two consecutive left moves form the route’s only multi-step straight run, while the changes into and out of that run create two turns. Both endpoints have one open orthogonal neighbor. After this path, 12 cells are assigned and seven remain for the final entry.

This route spans two rows and three columns, with three edge visits and one corner visit. Its downward and upward moves balance one another, so the path finishes in the same row where it began. The pair of left moves accounts for the full horizontal shift between its endpoints.

Open answer 4 route analysis

CONTEST completes the board along the left side

Complete CONTEST through 1 at row 5, column 1; 2 at row 4, column 1; 3 at row 4, column 2; 4 at row 3, column 2; 5 at row 2, column 2; 6 at row 2, column 1; 7 at row 1, column 1. The sequence reads C → O → N → T → E → S → T.

From the lower-left corner, move up, right, up, up, left, and up to reach the upper-left corner. The route changes direction four times, contains five straight segments, spans all five rows, and stays within two columns. It visits four edge cells and both of its endpoints have one open orthogonal neighbor. Adding these seven cells raises the assigned total from 12 to 19, leaving no open cell unused.

Four of the six moves go upward, while the single right move and single left move cancel each other horizontally. The only repeated direction occurs in the middle as two consecutive upward steps. That movement pattern explains how the route can cover every row yet begin and end in the same column.

Verification

The September 28, 2026 date, Wend No. 112 label, board layout, open and blocked totals, answer order, and letters were checked against official and independent source material. The four route lengths also sum to all 19 open cells.

For this LinkedIn Wend answer, every listed word was read through its numbered orthogonally adjacent cells, and the final route set covers the open board without leftovers. Wendtoday is unofficial and is not affiliated with LinkedIn.

Player questions

Wend No. 112 FAQ

Which edition does this guide cover?

It covers Wend No. 112 dated September 28, 2026, using the America/Los_Angeles puzzle date.

How many answers are on this board?

There are four answers. Their lengths are 3, 4, 5, and 7 letters, totaling all 19 open cells.

What do the open-cell row counts look like?

From top to bottom, the rows contain 3, 5, 3, 5, and 3 open cells. That pattern can help you audit your placements.

What does the low-neighbor count mean here?

It means 10 open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors on the untouched board. It does not describe restrictions created by completed paths.
