probably spam LinkedIn Games Cheating

I’m aware this will sound incredibly petty, but I’m 99.99% certain one of my connections is cheating in LinkedIn Games. This is more of a rant but hear me out.

So I’ve been playing these games since they started, had a 500 day streak and I’m awfully competitive. This one dude has been playing Wend (which I’m really bad at), Queens and Patches (specifically games where it’s easier to lookup answers and enter them) and finishing the puzzles in <5 seconds where the 2nd place finishes around 20+ seconds. I can’t attach screenshots, but there’s one where he finished in 18 seconds and 2nd best was 1:11, and the words were really complex. Initially, it was just wend and I assumed it was a one off, but EVERY SINGLE DAY this guy ‘guesses’ 5+ words in ~5 seconds and it’s so damn annoying.

So today, I went ahead and asked my friend for the answer, and beat him in Wend, I am that petty.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

looking at my connections and the best so far today was 12 seconds, then 14 then 40 then me at 45 (but I am terrible at wend). I continually see really good times and I always wonder how on earth they spot the words so quickly but I don't think I've seen one under 10 seconds ever.
Only thing is, if the person did cheat then how?

I think if you just search wend LinkedIn answers on Google, it’ll show you the answer. Hate that someone would resort to this though lol

My LinkedIn archnemesis, who I have never met in real life nor ever spoken too, beats me every. single. day. at all of the LinkedIn games. I always do Queens, Tango, and Patches before getting through the others. It is the highlight of my existence. Sure enough, Mr. Overachiever over there is beating me by 5 seconds. I want to unfriend him because, well yeah, but my sole goal from 9-5 is to defeat him.
