LinkedIn Wend #24

LinkedIn Wend #24 is the LinkedIn Wend daily for July 2, 2026. Wend is LinkedIn's word-finding game: drag through adjacent letters on a 6×6 grid to spell 7 hidden words (4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, and 4 letters each). Every letter is used exactly once. This page includes the live board, a solved-board view, and a step-by-step Solution walkthrough. Difficulty: Medium. Estimated solve time: 4–6 min. Read the explainer sections below for strategy, or jump straight into play.

This board hides 7 words: "EASY", "FOUR", "GURU", "MYTH", "OVEN", "PITY", "QUIZ".

The longest word is QUIZ — solve it first, then work through the remaining paths in recommended order.

1. Word 1Sample 14 letters

   QUIZ

   Path

   Sample 1: "QUIZ" → Starts at row 6, column 1 (corner), then runs one cell east, then one cell north, then one cell east.

   Contains rare letters Q, Z — usually a strong anchor for this word's path. A U-turn path that doubles back — watch for cells that look available but belong to this word. Starts in a corner — fewer adjacent options often mean a clearer first letter to test.

   Solving note

   Partition check 1: 4 cells assigned; 24 remain.

2. Word 2Sample 24 letters

   FOUR

   Path

   Sample 2: "FOUR" → Starts at row 1, column 4 (edge), then runs one cell west, then one cell south, then one cell east.

   A U-turn path that doubles back — watch for cells that look available but belong to this word. Starts on an edge — edge starts reduce the number of possible directions.

   Solving note

   Partition check 2: 4 cells assigned; 20 remain.

3. Word 3Sample 34 letters

   EASY

   Path

   Sample 3: "EASY" → Starts at row 3, column 6 (edge), then runs 2 cells north, then one cell west.

   An L-shaped path with one turn — common for medium-length words along two edges. Starts on an edge — edge starts reduce the number of possible directions.

   Solving note

   Partition check 3: 4 cells assigned; 16 remain.

4. Word 4Sample 44 letters

   GURU

   Path

   Sample 4: "GURU" → Starts at row 3, column 1 (edge), then runs 2 cells north, then one cell east.

   An L-shaped path with one turn — common for medium-length words along two edges. Starts on an edge — edge starts reduce the number of possible directions.

   Solving note

   Partition check 4: 4 cells assigned; 12 remain.

5. Word 5Sample 54 letters

   MYTH

   Path

   Sample 5: "MYTH" → Starts at row 4, column 4 (interior), then runs 2 cells south, then one cell west.

   The path crosses the grid center, consuming territory that would block multiple shorter words. An L-shaped path with one turn — common for medium-length words along two edges.

   Solving note

   Partition check 5: 4 cells assigned; 8 remain.

6. Word 6Sample 64 letters

   OVEN

   Path

   Sample 6: "OVEN" → Starts at row 6, column 5 (edge), then runs one cell east, then 2 cells north.

   An L-shaped path with one turn — common for medium-length words along two edges. Starts on an edge — edge starts reduce the number of possible directions.

   Solving note

   Partition check 6: 4 cells assigned; 4 remain.

7. Word 7Word 74 letters

   PITY

   Path

   Word 7: "PITY" → Starts at row 5, column 1 (edge), then runs one cell north, then 2 cells east.

   The path crosses the grid center, consuming territory that would block multiple shorter words. An L-shaped path with one turn — common for medium-length words along two edges. Starts on an edge — edge starts reduce the number of possible directions.

   Solving note

   Partition check 7: 4 cells assigned; 0 remain.

Optimal partition sequence: "QUIZ" (4), then "FOUR" (4), then "EASY" (4), then "GURU" (4), then "MYTH" (4), then "OVEN" (4), then "PITY" (4). Algorithm: sort by length descending, tie-break by rare letters and path complexity. Result: full coverage of 7 words with no overlap.

Step 1: Lock "QUIZ" (4 letters) first — Starts at row 6, column 1 (corner), then runs one cell east, then one cell north, then one cell east. 24 playable letters remain. Step 2: Place "FOUR" (4 letters). 20 letters left in 5 words. Step 3: Place "EASY" (4 letters). 16 letters left in 4 words. Step 4: Place "GURU" (4 letters). 12 letters left in 3 words. Step 5: Place "MYTH" (4 letters). 8 letters left in 2 words. Step 6: Place "OVEN" (4 letters). 4 letters left in 1 word. Step 7: Finish with "PITY" — the last 4-letter path. Every letter on the board is now accounted for.

Every hidden word is the same length, so length alone will not break ties. You need letter patterns, path geometry, and partition logic to decide which snake to trace first.

All 28 playable letters belong to exactly 7 words (EASY, FOUR, GURU, MYTH, OVEN, PITY, QUIZ). No letter is shared between paths, and every cell with a letter is used.

This Wend puzzle hides EASY, FOUR, GURU, MYTH, OVEN, PITY, and QUIZ on a 6×6 board. Each word is spelled by connecting horizontally or vertically adjacent cells — no diagonals, no reusing letters, and no overlapping paths. Word lengths run from 4 to 4 letters; recommended solve order (longest first): QUIZ, FOUR, EASY, GURU, MYTH, OVEN, and PITY. Start with "QUIZ" — the 4-letter anchor — then fill shorter paths through remaining letter clusters. Every hidden word is the same length, so length alone will not break ties. You need letter patterns, path geometry, and partition logic to decide which snake to trace first.
