Beat LinkedIn Games Today: Every Answer for December 21, 2025
Friday finishes with a flourish: the final LinkedIn Games answers of the week land as three staple puzzles hit their 600th edition. Quick, satisfying solves to cap your week—dive in and play along.
Week wrapped. Last batch of LinkedIn Games answers for December 21, 2025, is in — and three of the puzzles hit #600 today. Nice little milestone, and a solid set overall. If you’ve never opened these before, LinkedIn will toss you into a tutorial first, not the daily. Once you’re past that, here’s everything you need to finish today’s lineup without guesswork.
Queens (#600)
8x8 board, pretty slick layout, and the shapers are a little weird in a fun way. Drop your queens here, in order from top to bottom: r1c4; r2c7; r3c2; r4c5; r5c8; r6c6; r7c3; r8c1.
Zip (#279)
Low on points, high on trickiness — this path is sneakier than it looks. Start by moving left once, go straight up to the top, slide right to the wall, go down two, left once into point 2, up one, left one, down three, right one into point 3, then up one into point 4. From there, right one, down to the bottom, left to the wall, up two, right one into point 5, down one, right one, up three, and finally left one into point 6 to close it out.
Tango (#440)
Six prefilled squares run on a diagonal, which shakes up the usual pattern and makes the rest more interesting than the standard fill. Rows go like this:
Row 1: Sun, Moon, Moon, Sun, Moon.
Row 2: Moon, Moon, Sun, Moon, Sun.
Row 3: Sun, Sun, Moon, Moon, Moon.
Row 4: Moon, Sun, Moon, Sun, Sun.
Row 5: Sun, Sun, Sun, Moon, Moon.
Row 6: Moon, Moon, Moon, Sun.
Pinpoint (#600)
The hint trail is a slow burn that suddenly clicks. It goes: Water, then Duck (you could get it here, but there are a bunch of viable guesses), then Dollar (this is the aha), then Appropriation (which can throw you for a second), and finally Credit Card. The solution:
Words that come before "bill"
Mini Sudoku (#132)
Still steady on difficulty. Here’s today’s 6x6 grid solved row by row:
Row 1: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Row 2: 5, 4, 6, 2, 1, 3
Row 3: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1
Row 4: 6, 5, 1, 3, 2, 4
Row 5: 4, 6, 2, 1, 3, 5
Row 6: 3, 1, 5, 6, 4, 2
Crossclimb (#600)
Clue answers land as follows: Founded (on): BASED. Sometime after this: LATER. Relaxed: EASED. Part of a bar code reader: LASER. More villainous: BASER.
Before you finish, rearrange those five in this exact order to bridge the steps: LATER, LASER, BASER, BASED, EASED.
The final hint is: two things a painter might use — one a type of paint, the other the frame that holds the canvas. That gives you: LATEX and EASEL.
Milestone note: Queens, Pinpoint, and Crossclimb all hit #600 today. Not a bad way to close the week.
