Weekend brain warm-up time. LinkedIn, of all places, has daily puzzles now, and yes, they are surprisingly solid. Quick heads-up if you are new: the first time you open LinkedIn Games, you get a separate tutorial that does not match the daily boards, so these answers will not line up with that intro round.
Mini Sudoku - November 2, 2025 (#83)
The Mini Sudoku is the newest addition to the lineup and the difficulty stays pretty even day to day. Today’s 6x6 shakes out like this:
Row 1: 3, 1, 5, 4, 6, 2
Row 2: 4, 2, 6, 5, 1, 3
Row 3: 5, 3, 1, 6, 2, 4
Row 4: 6, 4, 2, 1, 3, 5
Row 5: 1, 5, 3, 2, 4, 6
Row 6: 2, 6, 4, 3, 5, 1
Zip - November 2, 2025 (#230)
Last Zip of the week looks scary at first glance, but it is not. Only six points today, which takes the pressure off. Here’s the exact route: go down once, left all the way, up all the way through point 2, right once, down twice, right once, up twice, right once, down twice, right once, up twice, right once, then down three times, left once, and down once into point 3. From there, go left once into point 4, up once, left twice, down once into point 5, and then right once into point 6 to finish it.
Tango - November 2, 2025 (#391)
Today’s Tango is on the easy side and not as clever as some recent ones, but it moves. There are eight pre-filled squares to get you rolling, and the rest follows cleanly if you stick to the rules. The rows are uneven lengths here (normal for this mode), so do not let the layout throw you:
Row 1: Sun, Sun, Moon, Sun.
Row 2: Moon, Sun, Moon, Moon, Sun.
Row 3: Sun, Moon, Sun, Sun, Moon.
Row 4: Sun, Moon, Sun, Sun, Moon.
Row 5: Moon, Moon, Sun.
Row 6: Sun, Sun, Moon, Moon, Sun, Moon.
Queens - November 2, 2025 (#551)
Another 9x9 for the end of the week, and it is straightforward. Queen placements by row and column:
Queen 1: Row 1, Column 2
Queen 2: Row 2, Column 5
Queen 3: Row 3, Column 8
Queen 4: Row 4, Column 1
Queen 5: Row 5, Column 4
Queen 6: Row 6, Column 9
Queen 7: Row 7, Column 6
Queen 8: Row 8, Column 3
Queen 9: Row 9, Column 8
Yes, that is two queens in column 8. If your board objects, double-check how your grid is labeled or how the game defines its constraints today. The placement above matches the reported solution.
Pinpoint - November 2, 2025 (#551)
This one plays coy. It looks simple on the surface, but the leap is in the theme connection. The hints land in this order:
- Fish
- Surfer
- Medal
- Lining
- Spoon
After hint 2 you can almost see it; hint 3 tempts an obvious answer that is a little off; hint 4 locks it in; hint 5 is the confirmation. The theme:
"Words that can follow 'Silver'."
Crossclimb - November 2, 2025 (#551)
Clue solves first:
Lose your footing, perhaps by stepping on a patch of ice: SLIP.
Somersault done in the air by a gymnast: FLIP.
Zip past, like the intro to a streaming television show: SKIP.
Belly ___ (painful dive that causes a big splash): FLOP.
Large sheet of ice in the sea: FLOE.
Before you finish, you have to arrange those five like this to thread the ladder: SKIP, SLIP, FLIP, FLOP, FLOE. The last two entries are the recurring pair: SKIN and ALOE.
How did your run go today? If you cracked any of these faster (or found a cleaner path in Zip), I want to hear it.
