About Pinpoint #889
Pinpoint #889 was LinkedIn’s puzzle for Tuesday, October 6, 2026. Its category doesn’t use one of Pinpoint’s stock openings (“Things…”, “Types of…”, a before / after word), which was true of 149 of the 432 puzzles from #458 to #889 (34%). 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 category like this
When a category has no stock opening, it usually names a group directly — parts of something, members of a set, or meanings of one word. Name the group the most obvious clue belongs to, then check that the vaguest clue fits it too; Pinpoint’s first clue is chosen to fit several groups, so the right answer is the one that survives all five.
