Today's puzzle is rated 8/10 difficulty — a tough one today! Our progressive hints should help.

How to Play Pinpoint

Pinpoint gives you five clues, revealed one at a time. Each clue is a word or short phrase that belongs to a single category. Your goal is to guess what that category is.

The first clue is the most obscure, and each subsequent clue gets progressively easier and more obvious. Guessing correctly after fewer clues earns a higher score.

Type your guess as a category name. The game checks whether your answer matches the intended category. Close synonyms are sometimes accepted, but the exact category name is preferred.

You can guess after each clue or wait until more clues are revealed. The puzzle resets daily at midnight PT.

Pinpoint is part of LinkedIn Games. Scores can be shared on your LinkedIn profile.

Tips & Strategy

  • Do not guess immediately after the first clue unless you are very confident. The first clue is intentionally misleading or niche. Wait for clue two to confirm or redirect your thinking.
  • Think in categories, not specifics. If the clues are Mercury, Venus, Earth, you want the category (planets) not a specific item.
  • Look for the common thread. If early clues seem unrelated, ask yourself: what single word or concept could connect all of them? Sometimes the connection is more abstract than you expect.
  • If your first guess is wrong, use the rejection to recalibrate. The game telling you 'no' to your category guess is itself a clue about what direction to think in.
