Beat Every LinkedIn Game Today: Complete Answers for December 26, 2025

Day-after-Christmas brain still in sleepy mode? Same. But if you want a quick tune-up between movie binges, today’s LinkedIn Games lineup hits that sweet spot: not a pushover, not a headache. Below are my clean, no-fuss solutions for December 26, 2025. Quick heads-up if you’re new: the first time you open any of these, LinkedIn runs you through a tutorial that is not the daily puzzle. So don’t panic if what you see at first doesn’t match the numbers here.

Mini Sudoku (#137)

This newbie in the rotation feels about the same difficulty every day. Today’s 6x6 grid breaks down like this:

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

Zip (#284)

Today’s circuit is straightforward if you follow the breadcrumb trail. From start, drop straight to the bottom through point 2, go right once, climb all the way to the top, slide left to the edge, then back down to the bottom. From there, go right once, up four steps passing through point 3, keep going into point 4, then right once into point 5. Head straight down to the bottom through point 6, right one more, then up four steps through point 7, and finish by stepping into point 8.

Tango (#445)

This one’s usually a layup, but today has a few more deduction traps thanks to seven pre-filled squares. Keep the adjacency rules in mind and it clicks. Final board by rows:

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

Queens (#605)

8x8 board today with some diagonally colored regions that look fancy but don’t actually raise the difficulty. Queen placements are:

Queen 1: Row 1, Column 2
Queen 2: Row 2, Column 7
Queen 3: Row 3, Column 1
Queen 4: Row 4, Column 3
Queen 5: Row 5, Column 6
Queen 6: Row 6, Column 3
Queen 7: Row 7, Column 8
Queen 8: Row 8, Column 5

Pinpoint (#605)

This one leans hard on general knowledge. The hint chain goes: Artemis, then Chang'e. If either of those rings a bell, you’re probably already circling the theme. Next up is Chandrayaan, which should lock the target for space folks. The fourth hint is Luna, and the closer is Apollo with a nod to a 'first' in 1969. The category: space programs focused on the Moon.

Crossclimb (#605)

Start with these clue answers: Cereal grains = BRANS. Seeds of the legume family = BEANS. Not spicy = BLAND. Pepsi, Nestle, Cadbury, Visa, or the like = BRAND. '___' = BLANK. Before you solve the last two, arrange the first five into this order: BEANS, BRANS, BRAND, BLAND, BLANK. The final clue is a two-word plural phrase for large omnivores common to North America. That gives you BLACK and BEARS.

How’d you do today? If you cleared them all post-holiday sugar crash, you’ve earned that couch time.
