LinkedIn Wend invite

What is a Wend invite on LinkedIn?

A Wend invite on LinkedIn is a challenge from a connection to play today's Wend, the daily word puzzle, sent as LinkedIn's invite notification, usually right after they solved it. That is all it means: it opens the same free puzzle every player gets, so you can compare times. It is not a separate game or a paid feature, and the invitation lasts until midnight Pacific Time, when a new Wend arrives.

  • Free
  • Today's puzzle only
  • Nothing happens if you ignore it

An invite: a connection asks you to play today's Wend.

How a Wend invite works

  1. STAELRMON

    A connection solves it

    They find every word in today's Wend, and LinkedIn shows their time.

  2. They send it to you

    From the result screen, they share the puzzle with you as a challenge.

  3. STAELRMON

    You open the same Wend

    The invite opens today's letters, the ones every player gets. Find the words as usual.

  4. You compare times

    When you finish, you see who was faster, and you can pass it on yourself.

Do people invite you to play Wend on LinkedIn?

Yes. A Wend invite comes from a connection who played today's Wend and shared it from the result screen. It reaches you because someone you know chose to send it, and nothing happens if you do not play.

What is Wend on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn's daily word puzzle: a small grid of letters hides words that wind through cells side by side or one above the other, and every letter belongs to one word. Everyone gets the same puzzle each day (how to play Wend).

Is it safe?

An invite is LinkedIn's own feature. If a message looks odd, check that it comes from someone you know and that it opens linkedin.com/games. A Wend invite never asks for a payment or a password.

When it runs out

The invitation is for one day's puzzle. At midnight Pacific Time it stops being playable and a new Wend replaces it (when do LinkedIn games reset).

Invites in the other games

The same challenge comes for other LinkedIn games: the Zip invite ("You've got an invite"), the Queens invite and the Patches invite.
