About Pinpoint #885
Pinpoint #885 was LinkedIn’s puzzle for Friday, October 2, 2026. It was a “Things…” category, like 95 of the 428 puzzles from #458 to #885 (22%). 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 “Things…” category
A “Things…” category is held together by a shared property (colour, shape, what something has or does) rather than by what the objects are. Ask what the first two clues have physically or functionally in common — not what kind of thing they are. If one clue carries a bracketed hint, it usually points straight at that shared property.
