How to Play LinkedIn Wend
Wend is a word search puzzle where words wind through a letter grid. Here's everything you need to know to start solving puzzles like a pro.
Understand the Grid
Each Wend puzzle presents a grid of letters. Some cells may be blocked (grayed out). Your goal is to find all the hidden words that wind through the grid, changing direction as they go.
Find the Words
Words in Wend are connected paths of letters. Each word starts at one cell and moves to adjacent cells (horizontally or vertically). Unlike traditional word searches, words in Wend can turn corners mid-word.
Follow the Winding Path
The key challenge is that words change direction. A word might go right for two letters, then turn down for three more. The name "Wend" itself means to travel along a winding course — which is exactly what each word does.
Use Intersections
Words often share cells where they cross. Finding one word reveals letters at intersection points, making it easier to discover adjacent words. Start with short words and work your way up to the longer ones.
Check Your Progress
LinkedIn Wend shows you which words you've found and highlights the cells you've selected. If you're stuck, use the hint feature in the game — or check our daily answer page for the complete solution.
