Board snapshot

A balanced 6-by-6 board with narrow passages

Wend No. 122 uses a 6-by-6 grid with 26 open cells and 10 blocked cells. The open-cell profile is symmetrical: the six rows contain 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, and 5 open cells, and the six columns follow the same 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, and 5 pattern. That balance gives you a reliable way to check that the board has been copied correctly without revealing any words.

Across the raw board, 16 open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors. This is only a count of the available up, down, left, and right neighbors in the unsolved grid; it does not mean those cells are constrained by completed routes. Still, the count explains why careful step-by-step tracing is useful: many cells offer only a small number of legal continuations.

Repeated letters create several plausible-looking partial strings. E appears six times, N and T appear three times each, and B, O, and R each appear twice. The LinkedIn Wend answer contains four entries with lengths 4, 6, 7, and 9, using all 26 open cells once the verified paths are combined. Treat repeated letters as checkpoints rather than assuming the first matching letter must belong to a candidate word.

Spoiler-light guidance

Use length, coverage, and the board outline together

Set up four spaces of 4, 6, 7, and 9 letters, then test one candidate at a time through orthogonally adjacent open cells. Trace every move on the board instead of reading letters across a row by habit. When a candidate reaches the right length, pause and confirm that each step stays on an open cell and that no cell has been reused.

Keep a running coverage total after each confirmed entry: 4 cells, then 10, then 17, and finally all 26. Those checkpoints are especially useful on this board because the repeated E, N, T, B, O, and R cells can make an incorrect route look convincing for several moves. A spelling match is not enough unless its path also fits the board and preserves complete coverage.

If you want only a nudge, compare the symmetrical row and column profiles before opening the spoiler section. Then work from the shortest entry toward the longest, checking turns and unused cells as you go. The full LinkedIn Wend answer walkthrough preserves that order, so you can reveal one entry, return to the board, and leave the remaining words unseen.

Spoiler walkthrough

Four verified words and their complete paths

The LinkedIn Wend answer is listed below in the supplied 4-, 6-, 7-, and 9-letter order. Each entry includes every cell in sequence, followed by a plain-language description of its movement and coverage contribution.

Open answer 1 route analysis

Entry 1: the four-letter path

Trace HERB through these cells: 1 at row 4, column 2; 2 at row 4, column 3; 3 at row 5, column 3; 4 at row 6, column 3. Reading those letters in path order gives H → E → R → B.

Make one move right, then continue down twice. The route has one turn and two straight segments, spanning three rows and two columns. It visits one edge cell and no corner cells. Both row 4, column 2 and row 6, column 3 have three open orthogonal neighbors on the raw board. Confirming this entry assigns four cells and leaves 22 open cells for the other paths.

Open answer 2 route analysis

Entry 2: the six-letter path

Follow ATTEND in this order: 1 at row 1, column 2; 2 at row 1, column 3; 3 at row 1, column 4; 4 at row 1, column 5; 5 at row 2, column 5; 6 at row 2, column 6. The sequence reads A → T → T → E → N → D.

Travel right three times, turn down once, and then turn right for the final letter. That produces four rightward moves and one downward move, arranged as three straight segments with two turns. The path spans two rows and five columns, visits five edge cells, and does not enter a corner. Its two endpoints each have two open orthogonal neighbors on the raw board. With this route included, 10 cells are assigned and 16 remain.

Open answer 3 route analysis

Entry 3: the seven-letter path

Build BETWEEN along 1 at row 1, column 1; 2 at row 2, column 1; 3 at row 3, column 1; 4 at row 4, column 1; 5 at row 5, column 1; 6 at row 5, column 2; 7 at row 6, column 2. In order, the letters are B → E → T → W → E → E → N.

Move down four times before turning right, then turn down for the last step. The route therefore contains five downward moves and one rightward move, with two turns across three straight segments. It spans all six rows but only two columns, accounts for six edge visits, and includes one corner visit. Both row 1, column 1 and row 6, column 2 have two open orthogonal neighbors on the raw board. At this point, 17 cells are assigned and nine remain.

Open answer 4 route analysis

Entry 4: the nine-letter path

Complete ERGONOMIC through 1 at row 6, column 4; 2 at row 6, column 5; 3 at row 6, column 6; 4 at row 5, column 6; 5 at row 4, column 6; 6 at row 3, column 6; 7 at row 3, column 5; 8 at row 3, column 4; 9 at row 2, column 4. The cells spell E → R → G → O → N → O → M → I → C.

Go right twice, turn and move up three times, turn left for two steps, and finally turn up once. Those eight moves form four straight segments with three direction changes: four moves up, two left, and two right. The route spans five rows and three columns, visits six edge cells, and includes one corner visit. Row 6, column 4 has two open orthogonal neighbors on the raw board, while row 2, column 4 has three. Adding this final path assigns all 26 open cells, leaving none uncovered.

How can I check the grid before revealing any words?

Count 26 open cells and 10 blocked cells. Both the row profile and the column profile should read 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5.

Why can a partial word look correct on this board?

Several letters recur: E appears six times, N and T three times each, and B, O, and R twice each. Confirm adjacency and total coverage rather than relying only on spelling.

Can I use the LinkedIn Wend answer one entry at a time?

Yes. The walkthrough separates all four entries in increasing length order, allowing you to reveal one route and then resume solving the rest of the board.

Does Wendtoday have an official connection to LinkedIn?
