Sunday is traditionally the toughest day for LinkedIn Games, and today’s set is exactly what you’d expect from the puzzles closing out the week. In other words, this isn’t the day to expect a quick run through the entire lineup.
If you’re new to LinkedIn Games, head over to the official website to get started. Keep in mind that first-time players get a tutorial run instead of the actual daily puzzles, so bookmark us and come back tomorrow if that’s you. Want more daily puzzle action? Check out our own catalog at FW Play for your next challenge!
With that out of the way, here are all the LinkedIn Games solutions for August 11, 2026.

Patches gets its Hard rating today with a much larger board than usual. There are plenty of pieces to fit together; we suggest starting from the edges and working inward to keep track of the available space:
Orange: Starting from the top-left corner, form a wide horizontal rectangle across the top row.
Green: Directly to the right of the Orange rectangle, form a square near the top of the grid.
Light Blue: To the right of the Green square, form a tall vertical rectangle running down from the top.
Brown: Starting from the top-right corner, form a long vertical rectangle along the right edge.
Teal: Below the Orange rectangle on the left side, form a narrow vertical rectangle.
Red: To the right of the Teal rectangle, form a horizontal rectangle.
Purple: Directly below the Red rectangle, form a tall vertical rectangle.
Mustard Yellow: To the right of the Purple rectangle, form a horizontal rectangle across the middle.
Brown: Continue down the left side to form a long vertical rectangle beneath the Teal piece.
Grey: In the center of the grid, form a wide horizontal rectangle.
Magenta: Directly to the right of the Grey rectangle, form a tall vertical rectangle.
Dark Teal: Below the Grey rectangle, form a horizontal rectangle across the lower-middle section.
Dark Green: Along the bottom-left section, form a wide horizontal rectangle.
Pink: To the right of the Dark Green rectangle, form a small vertical rectangle.
Blue: Fill the remaining bottom-right space with a horizontal rectangle.
LinkedIn Zip Solution for August 16, 2026 (#517)

Today’s Zip is rated Hard, but there are no walls or enclosed sections to guide you. From Point 1, head all the way to the bottom-left corner, then snake your way upward to Point 2. Continue along the left edge of the board before turning right across the top and travelling straight to Point 4.
From Point 4, go two squares down and then one square right to reach Point 5. Head back up to the top edge and follow it toward the top-right corner, then turn down along the right edge all the way to the bottom-right corner, passing through Point 6 along the way.
From there, work your way left while snaking upward to Point 7, then head back down to Point 8. Keep weaving through the centre of the board to connect the remaining points in order, finishing at Point 12 near the bottom-right corner. That’s today’s Zip complete.

Tango is another Hard puzzle today, with only six squares pre-filled. That doesn’t leave much to work with at the start, so you’ll need to pay close attention to the relationships between the Suns and Moons as you fill the grid.
The entries below are for the blank squares only:
Row 1: Moon, Moon, Sun, Moon
Row 2: Moon, Moon, Sun, Moon, Sun
Row 3: Moon, Sun, Moon, Sun, Sun
Row 4: Moon, Sun, Moon, Moon
Row 5: Moon, Sun, Sun, Moon, Sun, Moon
Row 6: Moon, Moon, Sun, Sun, Moon, Sun

Queens is rated Hard today and returns to a 9×9 board. As usual, you need one queen in every row, column, and colored region, while making sure no two queens touch, even diagonally.
Here’s where each queen goes in today’s board:
Queen #1: Row 1, Column 1
Queen #2: Row 2, Column 9
Queen #3: Row 3, Column 6
Queen #4: Row 4, Column 3
Queen #5: Row 5, Column 8
Queen #6: Row 6, Column 5
Queen #7: Row 7, Column 7
Queen #8: Row 8, Column 4

LinkedIn Crossclimb Solution for August 16, 2026 (#838)
The Crossclimb puzzle today. | Image Credit: LinkedIn/FandomWire
Crossclimb gives you five clues to solve before arranging the answers into a word ladder. Each consecutive word needs to differ by just one letter.
Here are today’s answers:
Didn’t hit the target: MISSED
Like these blanks, when you’re done with them: FILLED
Give false information to: MISLED
Made untidy or disheveled, as someone’s hair: MUSSED
Fed through a grinding machine, as wheat: MILLED
The correct ladder is FILLED → MILLED → MISLED → MISSED → MUSSED (or the reverse), with one letter changing at each step. That unlocks the hint for the final two slots: “Two options at a seafood restaurant: one a type of shellfish, the other a cut of fish. Keep in mind: The first word may be at the bottom.”
The final two words are FILLET and MUSSEL.
LinkedIn Pinpoint Solution for August 16, 2026 (#838)

Today’s Pinpoint starts with “Freeze,” which could take you in several directions. “Time,” “Bed,” and “Door” make the connection much easier to spot, while “Picture” confirms the answer.
The category is Words that come before “frame”: freeze-frame, time frame, bed frame, door frame, and picture frame.
And that’s another Sunday set wrapped up. Let us know down in the comments you fared in today’s puzzles!
