How to Play LinkedIn Wend

Rules

• Trace each word through neighbouring letters.
• Every letter in the grid is used exactly once.
• Word trails cannot cross each other.
• Grey squares are blocked: they hold no letter and trails go around them.

How the game works

You trace a word by connecting neighbouring letters. Grey squares are blocked, and words cannot cross. Because every letter is used once, finding one word also tells you which letters are left for the others.

Beginner strategy

• Look at the corners: a corner letter has few neighbours, so it often starts or ends a word.
• Rare letters like Q, X, Z or J narrow the words they can belong to.
• Use the blocked grey squares: letters next to them have fewer neighbours, just like corners.
• After each word, check that the remaining letters can still form the others.

Common mistakes

• Crossing trails.
• Leaving a single letter stranded with no word to join.
• Tracing a word that uses letters another word needs.

Example

STAR and LAMP run across the top rows, while WIND and GLOW bend through the bottom half. Every letter is used exactly once and no trails cross.
