How to Play LinkedIn Wend

Wend is a daily word path logic game where you navigate through a grid of letters to spell out words and cover every non-wall tile. Drag horizontally or vertically across adjacent cells to form valid dictionary words matching target slot lengths.

Wend Rules

1

Every non-wall cell must belong to exactly one completed word path.

2

Words are formed by connecting adjacent letters horizontally or vertically.

3

Each placed word must be a valid English dictionary word matching one of the target lengths.

4

Paths cannot cross themselves or overlap other words.

5

Cover the entire board to complete the puzzle.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Step 1

    Check the target word lengths listed below the grid to understand path sizes required.

  2. Step 2

    Look for isolated letters or constrained corner tiles that have limited neighbor connections.

  3. Step 3

    Drag through adjacent letters to spell candidate words and release to place the word pipe path.

  4. Step 4

    If a word turns out to be incorrect, tap any letter of that path to clear it.

  5. Step 5

    Use hints if you get stuck on a tricky word path or isolated cluster.

Strategy & Tips

Start with the longest word slot to lock in major path sections across the board.

Pay close attention to rare letters (like Z, X, Q, J) as their placement options are severely restricted.

🚫

Ensure you don't leave single unvisited cells trapped between two word paths.

↗️

Use directional arrows on paths to easily trace how your words wind through the grid.
