About Pinpoint #863

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.
