Hint 2 · the category, masked

About Pinpoint #830
Pinpoint #830 was LinkedIn’s puzzle for Saturday, August 8, 2026. It was a “before / after” word puzzle, like 107 of the 373 puzzles from #458 to #830 (29%). None of the five clues came with a bracketed hint: all five were bare words or phrases. No earlier puzzle in our archive used the same category.
How to crack a “before / after” word puzzle
Before / after puzzles hide a single word that turns every clue into a familiar phrase or compound. The first clue on its own usually looks like an ordinary word, which is the trap. Try common words in front of it and behind it, and keep the one that also works with the second clue; by the third clue there is rarely more than one candidate left. Sayings count too — the last clue is often a whole phrase that only makes sense with the hidden word attached.
