Here’s the full solution for today’s puzzle:

• Red: Starting from the top-left corner, form a horizontal rectangle using three squares.
• Teal: Directly to the right of the Red rectangle, form a vertical rectangle using two squares.
• Green: To the right of the Teal rectangle, form another vertical rectangle using two squares.
• Light Blue: Starting from the top-right corner, form a long vertical rectangle running down the entire right side.
• Dark Teal: Starting below the Red rectangle on the far-left side, form a long vertical rectangle stretching to the bottom of the grid.
• Orange: Directly to the right of the Dark Teal rectangle, form a horizontal rectangle using two squares.
• Mustard Yellow: Below the Orange rectangle, form a long horizontal rectangle using six squares.
• Purple: To the right of the Mustard Yellow rectangle, form a vertical rectangle using two squares.
• Brown: Directly below the Mustard Yellow rectangle, form a horizontal rectangle using two squares.
• Coral: Below the Brown rectangle, form another horizontal rectangle using two squares.
• Magenta: To the right of the Brown and Coral rectangles, form a vertical rectangle using two squares.
• Dark Pink: To the right of the Magenta rectangle, form a vertical rectangle using two squares.
• Hot Pink: Fill the remaining bottom row with a long horizontal rectangle.

LinkedIn Zip Solution for August 2, 2026 (#503)

Today’s Zip is rated Hard, and the middle of the board is where it earns that rating.

From Point 1, go one square right, one square down, then head all the way left through the opening to Point 2. Continue one square left, go up, then travel three squares right through the next opening. Move up one square, head three squares left through another opening, then go up once more into Point 3.

From Point 3, follow the path around the entire left side of the grid, covering every available square until you’re directly beneath Point 4, then move up one square to reach it. Continue along the only remaining route through Point 5 and on to Point 6.

From there, trace the outside edge up the right side of the board to the top-right corner, head left as far as possible, then weave through the remaining open squares to connect Points 7 and 8, and voila! You have solved today’s LinkedIn Zip.

LinkedIn Tango Solution for August 2, 2026 (#664)

Tango is also rated Hard today, and it only gives you the four prefilled corner squares to start with. That leaves plenty of deduction before the board begins to open up.

Here are the symbols that belong in the empty squares from top to bottom:

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

LinkedIn Queens Solution for August 2, 2026 (#824)

Today’s Queens is another 9×9 grid, so you’ll need to keep track of more regions while making sure no two queens touch, even diagonally.

Here’s where every queen belongs:

• Queen #1: Row 1, Column 1
• Queen #2: Row 2, Column 7
• Queen #3: Row 3, Column 3
• Queen #4: Row 4, Column 5
• Queen #5: Row 5, Column 8
• Queen #6: Row 6, Column 2
• Queen #7: Row 7, Column 4
• Queen #8: Row 8, Column 6
• Queen #9: Row 9, Column 9

LinkedIn Crossclimb Solution for August 2, 2026 (#824)

Crossclimb begins with five clues that must then be arranged into a word ladder, changing just one letter at each step.

Today’s clue answers are:

• ___-goose chase (lengthy and usually fruitless pursuit): WILD
• Breathing organ used by a fish to get oxygen from water: GILL
• Gentle or moderate: MILD
• Cunning and shrewd: WILY
• Place where grain is ground into flour: MILL

The correct ladder order is GILL → MILL → MILD → WILD → WILY (or the reverse), with one letter changing at each step. That unlocks the final hint:

“Two words that complete the saying ‘___ the ___,’ meaning to embellish or overdecorate something that’s already beautiful. Keep in mind: The first word may be at the bottom.”

The final two words are GILD and LILY!

LinkedIn Pinpoint Solution for August 2, 2026 (#824)

Today’s Pinpoint starts with “First,” which leaves plenty of possibilities. “Pin” and “Net” begin to narrow things down, while “Valve” should point you in the right direction. If you still weren’t certain, the final clue, “In numbers,” gives the theme away.

The answer is “Words that come after ‘safety’!”

That wraps up the first Sunday set of August 2026’s LinkedIn Games. Which puzzle took you the longest to finish today? Let us know in the comments below.
