Today’s board

What to notice before revealing the answers

Wend No. 124 uses an 8-by-8 grid with 40 open cells and 24 blocked cells. The open-cell totals by row are 1, 6, 7, 6, 6, 7, 6, and 1; the column totals repeat that same sequence. In particular, row 1 and row 8 each contain just one open cell, while columns 1 and 8 do as well.

Repeated letters can make a promising fragment point in more than one direction. E appears six times, D five times, O and R four times each, and T three times. A, G, I, L, and U each appear twice. When checking a possible route, match the complete spelling instead of accepting the first repeated letter that seems to fit.

The five required lengths are 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, which add up to all 40 open cells. Eight open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors on the raw board; that figure means only what it says about the original board’s orthogonal neighbors. Together, these counts give you a spoiler-free way to check that you copied this LinkedIn Wend answer board correctly.

Spoiler-free approach

Use lengths, endpoints, and complete coverage

Start by setting out five answer spaces in increasing lengths: 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Treat each clue separately, then scan the board for a full spelling that can be traced through open cells. Because several letters recur, keep checking every next letter rather than committing to a route after a convincing beginning.

The four single-cell outer lines are useful landmarks without revealing a word: row 1, row 8, column 1, and column 8 each contribute one open cell. A candidate that reaches one of those narrow points deserves a careful check against its required length, but the board shape alone does not tell you which entry belongs there.

Count coverage as you confirm entries. Your running totals should reach 6 cells, then 13, 21, 30, and finally 40 when the words are handled in the supplied order. If your total stalls or exceeds one of those checkpoints, retrace the latest entry letter by letter. Open the walkthrough only when you want the complete LinkedIn Wend answer and exact route evidence.

Five answers with exact tracing routes

Reveal this section when you are ready to see the words. Each item gives the cells in path order, followed by a plain-language movement check and the number of open cells left after that route is marked.

Open answer 1 route analysis

Answer 1 • Six-letter route

Trace DIRECT through these cells: 1 at row 3, column 5; 2 at row 3, column 4; 3 at row 2, column 4; 4 at row 2, column 5; 5 at row 2, column 6; 6 at row 2, column 7. Reading them in that order produces D → I → R → E → C → T.

The movement pattern is left, up, then right three times. That gives the route two turns and three straight segments across a two-row span and a four-column span. Its starting cell has four open orthogonal neighbors on the raw board, while its final cell has two. Marking this first word accounts for 6 cells and leaves 34.

Open answer 2 route analysis

Answer 2 • Seven-letter route

Follow UPGRADE in this order: 1 at row 1, column 3; 2 at row 2, column 3; 3 at row 2, column 2; 4 at row 3, column 2; 5 at row 4, column 2; 6 at row 4, column 3; 7 at row 3, column 3. The letters read U → P → G → R → A → D → E.

From the first letter, move down, left, down twice, right, and up. The route changes direction four times, forms five straight segments, spans four rows and two columns, and visits the board edge once. Its starting cell has one open orthogonal neighbor on the raw board. Once this word is marked, the running coverage reaches 13 cells, with 27 still open.

Open answer 3 route analysis

Answer 3 • Eight-letter route

Build LEFTOVER from the following sequence: 1 at row 6, column 1; 2 at row 6, column 2; 3 at row 5, column 2; 4 at row 5, column 3; 5 at row 6, column 3; 6 at row 6, column 4; 7 at row 5, column 4; 8 at row 4, column 4. In path order, that spells L → E → F → T → O → V → E → R.

Move right, up, right, down, right, and then up twice. This route has five turns and six straight segments, covering a three-row span and a four-column span. It touches the edge once, at its starting cell, where the raw board provides one open orthogonal neighbor. Adding these eight cells brings the coverage total to 21 and leaves 19 cells for the last two entries.

Open answer 4 route analysis

Answer 4 • Nine-letter route

Trace RIGHTEOUS along 1 at row 3, column 8; 2 at row 3, column 7; 3 at row 4, column 7; 4 at row 5, column 7; 5 at row 5, column 6; 6 at row 5, column 5; 7 at row 4, column 5; 8 at row 4, column 6; 9 at row 3, column 6. Those cells yield R → I → G → H → T → E → O → U → S.

Begin with a left move, travel down twice, go left twice, then turn up, right, and up. The route changes direction five times and forms six straight segments within a three-row, four-column span. Its first cell is the route’s single edge visit and has one open orthogonal neighbor on the raw board. After all nine letters are marked, 30 cells are covered and 10 remain.

Open answer 5 route analysis

Answer 5 • Ten-letter route

Complete DOWNLOADED by following 1 at row 8, column 6; 2 at row 7, column 6; 3 at row 7, column 7; 4 at row 6, column 7; 5 at row 6, column 6; 6 at row 6, column 5; 7 at row 7, column 5; 8 at row 7, column 4; 9 at row 7, column 3; 10 at row 7, column 2. The resulting sequence is D → O → W → N → L → O → A → D → E → D.

Go up, right, up, left twice, down, and finally left three times. This last route contains five turns and six straight segments, spanning three rows and six columns. It visits the edge once at its starting cell, which has one open orthogonal neighbor on the raw board; its ending cell has two. These ten letters raise the coverage count from 30 to all 40 open cells, leaving none unassigned.

Player questions

Wend No. 124 FAQ

What puzzle does this page cover?

It covers Wend No. 124 dated October 10, 2026, using an 8-by-8 board with 40 open cells and 24 blocked cells.

Can I get a nudge without revealing the words?

Yes. Use the snapshot and approach first: check the 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10-letter lengths, watch the repeated letters, and track coverage toward 40 cells.

How do I check that I copied the board shape correctly?

Count open cells by row and column. Both directions should give 1, 6, 7, 6, 6, 7, 6, and 1.

What should I do if a partial spelling seems to fit twice?

Continue tracing the complete spelling and compare its full length. E, D, O, and R all recur often enough that a short fragment is not a reliable confirmation.

Does the guide reveal everything at once?

No. The board checks and solving approach stay outside the spoiler section, while the LinkedIn Wend answer words and exact paths are separated into five walkthrough items.
