Before the spoilers

Two open cells on top, four full rows below

The five-by-five outline contains 25 squares, with 22 open cells and three blocked cells. Its first row has just two playable positions; each of the remaining four rows has five. That gives you a useful visual check before you consider any spelling. Compare the outline on your board with those counts, then keep the four requested lengths in view: four, five, six, and seven letters. Together, those lengths account for all 22 open cells.

Viewed by column, the open-cell counts are five, four, four, four, and five. Both outer columns are fully open, while each of the three inner columns has one fewer playable cell. Compare that column pattern with the two-cell top row when checking the outline. Four open cells have at most two open orthogonal neighbors, meaning open cells directly above, below, left, or right. That is a count of immediate board neighbors.

S appears four times and U appears three times. C, E, H, O, R, and T each appear twice, so recognizing a letter does not always identify a single square. When you compare a possible word with the board, keep the actual sequence of cells in mind as well as its spelling. The repeated letters are part of this edition's layout; their counts tell you what is available without revealing which copies belong to which word.

Keep the words hidden

Use the lengths, then check the cells

Give the four-letter slot your attention first, then move through five, six, and seven letters in that order, following the supplied hint. A word that fits one slot still needs a continuous route through the letters on this board. Before accepting it, count the selected cells and read them back in order. You can use the length check without opening any of the four answers below.

Let the repeated letters prompt a second look at placement. Four copies of S and three copies of U give you several places to recognize those letters, while the paired letters can also send your eye toward more than one square. Follow each proposed move on the board instead of mentally filling in the rest of a spelling. If you want the full LinkedIn Wend answer, the walkthrough names the precise copy of every letter with its row and column.

Keep a running count alongside your words. In the supplied order, the slot lengths total four cells, then nine, then 15, and finally 22. Compare those totals with distinct cells, since counting a square twice would not account for another open position. The finished set should leave no playable cell unused. If your letters look right but the total does not match, retrace the selections you already have before treating the remaining spaces as a separate word.

Spoiler walkthrough

Four words, with every step shown

The LinkedIn Wend answer for November 11, 2026 follows the four-, five-, six-, and seven-letter order. Each entry pairs its spelling with a complete cell sequence, then explains the movement so you can compare the route with the board you have open.

Open answer 1 route analysis

HORN: down once, then across the bottom

For HORN, select H at row 4, column 1, then O at row 5, column 1. Turn right to R at row 5, column 2, and continue right to N at row 5, column 3. Reading those four positions in order gives H, O, R, N. Keep the downward opening separate from the two rightward moves: the direction changes after the second letter, and the final three letters share a row.

The route uses two straight segments and makes one turn. It spans two rows and three columns, and all four selected cells lie on the board's edge, including one corner. That gives you a visual cross-check beyond the spelling: the path follows the outside rather than cutting through the interior. Once these four distinct cells are accounted for, 18 open cells remain. Leave this route at four letters when you move on to the five-letter slot.

Open answer 2 route analysis

QUEST: step inward and return to the first column

Choose Q at row 1, column 1 for QUEST. Move down to U at row 2, column 1, right to E at row 2, column 2, down to S at row 3, column 2, and left to T at row 3, column 1. The full spelling is Q, U, E, S, T. Its start and finish share a column, but the middle of the route reaches into the next column before returning.

Think of the movement as four individual steps: down, right, down, left. Every step changes direction from the preceding one, producing three turns and four straight segments across three rows and two columns. The starting Q has only one open orthogonal neighbor on the board. Check the return to T rather than stopping at S: this entry needs five distinct cells. With the opening two words complete, nine cells are assigned and 13 remain for the six- and seven-letter entries.

Open answer 3 route analysis

AUTHOR: follow the full outer column, then turn left

Read AUTHOR from A at row 1, column 5. Continue down through U at row 2, column 5, T at row 3, column 5, H at row 4, column 5, and O at row 5, column 5. Finish by turning left to R at row 5, column 4. This places A, U, T, H, O, R in sequence. The first five letters stay in one column; only the last letter moves out of that column.

Four downward moves followed by one leftward move make two straight segments with a single turn. This is the route that spans all five rows, and every one of its six cells sits on an edge. It visits two corners, while its opening A has just one open orthogonal neighbor. Use the long vertical stretch to check that you have not skipped a letter. Completing this entry brings the running total to 15 distinct cells, leaving seven for the final word.

Open answer 4 route analysis

SUCCESS: rise through the doubled C, then descend

Select S at row 4, column 2 to start SUCCESS, then move right to U at row 4, column 3. Go up to C at row 3, column 3 and up again to C at row 2, column 3. Turn right to E at row 2, column 4, then descend through S at row 3, column 4 to S at row 4, column 4. These seven positions spell S, U, C, C, E, S, S.

Keep both doubled letters visible as you trace: the two C cells come consecutively during the upward stretch, and the final two S cells come consecutively during the downward stretch. The movement is right, up twice, right, down twice, with three turns and four straight segments. All seven cells are interior positions within a span of three rows and three columns. This last route raises the total from 15 to 22 distinct cells, leaving no open cells unassigned.

What can I use without revealing the words?

Stay with the snapshot and approach. They cover the 22-cell outline, repeated letters, and four-, five-, six-, and seven-letter slots without naming the answers.

How do I tell repeated letters apart?

Use their positions rather than the letters alone. This board has four S cells, three U cells, and six other letters appearing twice each.

How many cells should remain when I finish?

Zero playable cells should remain. The four word lengths add to 22, matching the board's open-cell count. The three blocked squares do not enter that count.

Does a matching word length confirm my selection?

Length is one check. Compare the spelling and every step as well; the walkthrough lets you match your selection to the full sequence.
