Word Path — Wordle English
Four words hidden in a 5x5 grid: trace each through adjacent letters until every cell is used once. The word-trace puzzle LinkedIn calls Wend.
How to Play Word Path
Word Path is a daily word-trace puzzle in English. A 5x5 grid holds letters and a handful of grey walls that are fixed before you start. Four words are hidden in it, and you trace each one by starting on a tile and stepping to tiles directly above, below, left or right - never diagonally. The four paths never cross and never share a tile: together they cover every open cell exactly once, so a real word found on the wrong tiles orphans the rest of the board. You are told the four word lengths up front, which is what makes the puzzle fair - every grid we ship is checked to admit exactly one set of four words that tiles it.

How Word Path works
Word Path gives you a 5x5 grid of letters with some squares walled off in grey. Four words are hidden in the open squares. You trace each one by pressing a letter and dragging to letters directly above, below, left or right of it - diagonals are not legal moves, which is the rule that separates Word Path from Strands-style word hunts.
The four traces are pairwise disjoint and between them they cover every open square exactly once. So Word Path is as much a packing problem as a word hunt: a genuine word traced on the wrong squares leaves letters that no three remaining words can tile.
You are told the four lengths before you start. That is not a hint - it is part of the puzzle's definition. Every grid we serve is run through an exact-cover solver that enumerates every dictionary word traceable on it and checks that exactly one set of four words of those lengths tiles the board. A grid with two solutions is thrown away and regenerated.
Each of the twenty supported languages has its own word pools, so a Greek or Turkish board is generated from Greek or Turkish words rather than translated from English. Daily puzzles are frozen once served, so a later dictionary edit can never rewrite a day you already played.
Tips & Strategy
A cell with only one open neighbour cannot be in the middle of a word - it has to be a first or last letter. Word Path's walls usually create two or three of these, and each one is a nearly-free anchor.
The lengths sum to the open-cell count, so treat it as a packing problem. If a 4-letter region is cut off from the rest by walls, one of the 4-letter words lives there, and no other word can reach it.
Because the four paths tile the board exactly, placing a genuine word where it does not belong orphans letters elsewhere. If you are sure of a word but it is rejected, try the same letters along a different route.
Six-letter traces have the most possible routes, so they are the hardest to place cold. Lock the short words first; by the time three are down the long one usually has exactly one path left.
