How to Play the New LinkedIn Wend Game
Simple to learn, satisfying to solve.
Start anywhere
Tap or click any letter tile to begin a word.
Trace neighbors
Extend up, down, left or right — no diagonals. Words bend around the gray walls.
Use every tile
Find all four words. Each tile belongs to exactly one word — it's a tiling puzzle, too.
Hint & undo
Stuck? Reveal a letter with Hint, or back out a path with Undo.
What Makes the Wend Game Different
If you've played Boggle or Strands, this part is the twist.
Every letter is used exactly once
Boggle rewards you for pulling as many words as possible from a shared pool, and Strands lets some letters sit unused. Wend won't: all four words together have to cover the whole board — one three-, four-, five- and six-letter word, eighteen letters in all. A clever word built from the wrong tiles doesn't just cost points, it blocks the rest of the grid. That turns Wend into a tiling puzzle as much as a word hunt.
The walls are the puzzle's spine
The gray blocks aren't decoration. They're fixed before you start and carve out the shapes your words have to wind through — and they're what guarantees each daily puzzle has exactly one solution. The result feels like part word search, part jigsaw: you're not only finding words, you're fitting them together.

Wend Game: Frequently Asked Questions
The things people ask most about Wend.
What is the Wend game on LinkedIn?
Wend is a daily word puzzle on LinkedIn. You get a 5×5 grid hiding four words — one each of three, four, five and six letters. Starting from any tile, you trace a path through neighboring squares to spell each word, bending around the gray walls until every square has been used exactly once.
Is Wend part of LinkedIn Games?
Yes. Wend joined the LinkedIn Games lineup on June 9, 2026, sitting next to puzzles like Pinpoint, Queens and Tango. It's the first brand-new word game added since the Games tab arrived in 2024.
Where can I find today's Wend LinkedIn answer?
The official puzzle resets every day, so the solution changes with it. We don't post a daily Wend LinkedIn answer — untangling the grid yourself is the whole point. If you want to keep solving past the daily puzzle, the Unlimited version generates fresh boards whenever you like.
How is the new LinkedIn Wend game different from other word games?
Most word hunts only ask you to spot letters. The new LinkedIn Wend game is also a tiling puzzle: every square belongs to exactly one word, and the walls force your paths to twist. You're working out the layout and the vocabulary at the same time.
Can I play the Wend game without a LinkedIn account?
The official daily puzzle asks you to sign in to LinkedIn. The Unlimited version here doesn't — it runs entirely in your browser, so you can practice the same gameplay and replay as often as you want without an account.
Who created Wend?
Wend was designed by Thomas Snyder, LinkedIn's Principal Puzzlemaster and a multiple-time world sudoku champion.
About the Wend LinkedIn Game
To wend means to proceed along a winding path. That's exactly what the game asks: words snake through the grid, bending around walls, using every letter once. Wend launched on LinkedIn on June 9, 2026 as the platform's first new word game since LinkedIn Games debuted in 2024.
LinkedIn describes Wend as a quick, focused break in the workday — vocabulary mixed with pattern recognition and a light logic challenge. The puzzle is the work of Thomas Snyder, LinkedIn's Principal Puzzlemaster and a multiple-time world sudoku champion, with the game team led by product managers Helen Smith and Rushabh Shah. You can play it free on the web at linkedin.com/games/wend or in the LinkedIn app for iOS and Android.
