Board snapshot

A 6-by-6 board with four growing paths

Wend No. 115 uses a six-row, six-column board. Of its 36 positions, 26 are open and 10 are blocked. The open-cell totals by row are 5, 3, 5, 5, 3, and 5, so the second and fifth rows are the narrowest places to inspect when you are checking how a possible path passes through the board.

The columns are more evenly filled: their open-cell totals are 4, 5, 4, 4, 5, and 4. There are four answers, and their lengths rise steadily from 5 to 6 to 7 to 8 letters. Together those lengths account for all 26 open cells, which gives you a useful coverage check without revealing any word or route.

Letter repetition is an important feature of this LinkedIn Wend answer. O appears six times, C appears three times, and K, R, and T each appear twice. Also, 16 of the 26 open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors in the raw board layout. That figure describes only the board-neighbor count; it does not say that completed routes constrain those cells.

Spoiler-aware hints

How to work through this board

Start by making four slots of 5, 6, 7, and 8 letters, in that order. If you want a light nudge, their initial letters are L, R, S, and D. Use each initial with its required length, then trace only through open cells while checking that consecutive letters meet orthogonally rather than diagonally.

Because O has six possible locations, avoid committing to the first promising O you see. Trace the surrounding letters forward and backward, check the full word length, and compare the candidate against the row and column totals. The repeated C, K, R, and T cells deserve the same treatment whenever more than one continuation looks plausible.

Treat coverage as a running ledger for this board. A complete 5-letter route leaves 21 open cells, the next route leaves 15, and the third leaves 8 for the longest answer. If you want one stronger nudge before revealing the LinkedIn Wend answer, the 8-letter path starts at row 4, column 4 and changes direction three times.

Full solution

Reveal the four answers and exact routes

The complete LinkedIn Wend answer is set out below in answer order. Each route lists every cell, followed by a plain movement check so you can compare your trace with the board without having to infer any missing step.

Open answer 1 route analysis

Answer 1: LOGIC

Trace LOGIC through these cells: 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 3, column 1. Reading them in sequence gives L → O → G → I → C, with every new letter orthogonally adjacent to the one before it.

The movement pattern is up, right, up, then left. It changes direction after every move, producing three turns and four straight segments across a span of three rows and two columns. The route visits three edge cells but no corner, and both its starting and ending cells have two open orthogonal neighbors in the raw board. Placing it assigns five cells and leaves 21 open cells for the remaining answers.

For a visual check, notice how the two upward steps are separated by a single move to the right. The last move reverses that horizontal shift, so the path finishes in the same column where it began. That compact zigzag distinguishes the complete five-cell trace from a partial letter match.

Open answer 2 route analysis

Answer 2: ROCKET

Follow ROCKET in this order: 1 at row 1, column 4; 2 at row 1, column 3; 3 at row 1, column 2; 4 at row 2, column 2; 5 at row 2, column 3; 6 at row 3, column 3. Those positions read R → O → C → K → E → T and supply the complete six-letter path.

The first two moves go left, followed by down, right, and down. That gives two leftward moves, two downward moves, and one rightward move, with three turns overall. The route spans three rows and three columns, touches three edge cells, and does not enter a corner. Once it joins the first answer, 11 cells are assigned and 15 remain.

Use the opening horizontal run as your first confirmation: the first three letters stay on one row before the path drops. It then turns right once and drops once more. This produces a stepped shape rather than a single bend, and it explains why the route contains four straight segments.

Open answer 3 route analysis

Answer 3: STOMACH

Build STOMACH along 1 at row 4, column 6; 2 at row 4, column 5; 3 at row 3, column 5; 4 at row 3, column 6; 5 at row 2, column 6; 6 at row 1, column 6; 7 at row 1, column 5. The letters appear as S → T → O → M → A → C → H.

Read the motion as left, up, right, up, up, and left. Three moves rise, two go left, and one goes right; the consecutive upward pair is the route’s only repeated direction. Its four turns create five straight segments across four rows and two columns. Five cells lie on an edge, one of them is a corner, and completing this path raises the assigned total to 18, leaving eight cells.

The horizontal moves provide another useful audit. A left move opens the route, a right move returns it across the same two-column span, and a final left move closes it after the upward run. Overall, the path finishes three rows higher and one column to the left of its start.

Open answer 4 route analysis

Answer 4: DOORKNOB

Finish with DOORKNOB: 1 at row 4, column 4; 2 at row 5, column 4; 3 at row 5, column 5; 4 at row 6, column 5; 5 at row 6, column 4; 6 at row 6, column 3; 7 at row 6, column 2; 8 at row 6, column 1. In path order, the letters are D → O → O → R → K → N → O → B.

Move down, right, down, and then left four times. The long final run is a useful confirmation: this route has three turns and four straight segments while spanning three rows and five columns. It visits five edge cells, including one corner. Adding these eight cells to the previous 18 accounts for all 26 open cells, so none remain unassigned.

Check the pair of consecutive O letters against the opening down-and-right movement before following the second downward step. From there, the last five letters occupy one uninterrupted leftward run. Although the route briefly moves right, its four moves left produce a finish three columns left of its starting position.

Solution check

What was confirmed

The October 1, 2026 date, Wend No. 115 label, 6-by-6 grid, four answer words, and answer order were checked using official and independent source types. Each spelling was then matched against a continuous orthogonal route on the supplied board.

The route checks also confirmed the listed starts, ends, movement sequences, and complete 26-cell coverage. Wendtoday is an unofficial helper and is not affiliated with LinkedIn; this page explains the verified LinkedIn Wend answer without presenting itself as the official puzzle.

Player questions

Wend No. 115 FAQ

What are the answer lengths for Wend No. 115?

There are four answers containing 5, 6, 7, and 8 letters, in that order. Those lengths total 26, matching the number of open cells on this board.

What is the lightest hint available for this edition?

Use the initials L, R, S, and D with the four known lengths. That narrows your search while leaving the complete words and their exact routes concealed in the walkthrough.

How many blocked cells are on the October 1 board?

The 6-by-6 board contains 10 blocked cells and 26 open cells. The open cells are distributed by row as 5, 3, 5, 5, 3, and 5.

Which repeated letter needs the most care?

O occurs six times, the highest count on this board. Check the letters before and after each possible O rather than choosing a location from the single letter alone.

How can I confirm that my whole solution fits?

Your four paths should use every open cell exactly once across the 5-, 6-, 7-, and 8-letter answers. Reveal the LinkedIn Wend answer walkthrough if you need the exact cell sequence for each path.
