Ace Today’s LinkedIn Games: All the Answers for October 30, 2025

Quick one today: LinkedIn Games are still simple, still slick, and yes, still oddly satisfying. If this is your first time playing, heads up — LinkedIn throws you into a tutorial round that is separate from the daily puzzle. So if you just signed up, what you see there will not match the answers below. For everyone already on the daily track, here are the solutions for Thursday, October 30, 2025.

Mini Sudoku (#80)

The newest addition keeps the difficulty steady day to day — no nasty surprises.

Row 1: 6, 3, 1, 2, 5, 4

Row 2: 4, 5, 2, 6, 1, 3

Row 3: 3, 2, 4, 1, 6, 5

Row 4: 5, 1, 6, 3, 4, 2

Row 5: 1, 4, 3, 5, 2, 6

Row 6: 2, 6, 5, 4, 3, 1

Zip (#227)

Not tough, but the symmetry today is oddly pleasing. The route I used:

Start by moving up 1. Go left 3. Drop down 1 to hit point 2, then left 1 into point 3. Climb all the way to the top, head right to the edge, and run straight down to the bottom, passing through points 4 and 5. From the bottom, slide left to the edge, go up 2 into point 6, then right 1 into point 7. Down 1, right 3, then up into point 8. From there, left 1 into point 9, up 1 into point 10, left 1 into point 11, and finish by going down 1 into point 12.

Tango (#388)

Fun setup: six pre-filled squares and they are all suns. The way the X and = constraints land makes this one straightforward but still engaging.

Row 1: Moon, Sun, Moon, Moon, Sun

Row 2: Moon, Sun, Sun, Moon, Moon

Row 3: Sun, Moon, Moon, Moon, Sun

Row 4: Sun, Moon, Moon, Moon, Sun

Row 5: Moon, Moon, Sun, Sun, Moon

Row 6: Moon, Sun, Sun, Moon, Moon

Queens (#548)

8x8 board today, with blocked regions that look a bit like they fell out of a retro puzzle game. Fairly balanced overall — nothing flashy, no trick squares.

Queen #1: Row 1, Column 8

Queen #2: Row 2, Column 2

Queen #3: Row 3, Column 7

Queen #4: Row 4, Column 3

Queen #5: Row 5, Column 5

Queen #6: Row 6, Column 1

Queen #7: Row 7, Column 6

Queen #8: Row 8, Column 4

Pinpoint (#548)

First genuinely confusing one this week. The theme you immediately think of is part of it, but not the full picture. The hints in order:

Pele → Messi → Decathlon → Perfect score (sometimes) → X (when counting in Rome)

If that chain did not click: Pele and Messi wear 10, a decathlon has 10 events, a perfect score can be a 10, and Roman numeral X equals 10. The category is: Things associated with the number 10.

Crossclimb (#548)

Clues and fills:

Color similar to turquoise: TEAL

Type of plant that holds fruit in an orchard: TREE

Drinks that can be black, white, green, herbal, or oolong: TEAS

Little pegs used to prop up golf balls: TEES

___ leches cake, and the Spanish number after uno and dos: TRES

Reordering step before the final pair: TEAL, TEAS, TEES, TRES, TREE.

Final two words: REAL and TRUE.
