What do all five have in common?

Two hints first

Hint 1 · what kind of category

This is a “before / after” puzzle: one hidden word completes all five clues. It goes in front of each clue (___ + clue).

Hint 2 · the category, masked

The category, with the giveaway word masked: Words that come after "G_____" — the hidden word has 6 letters and starts with G.

The answer

Three of the five clues have turned up in other Pinpoints since #458. Pinpoint often reuses a clue word with a different meaning, so a clue you remember is no guarantee of the category. Their categories are spoilers for those days.

About Pinpoint #922

Pinpoint #922 was LinkedIn’s puzzle for Sunday, November 8, 2026. It was a “before / after” word puzzle, like 132 of the 465 puzzles from #458 to #922 (28%). One clue came with a bracketed hint, which Pinpoint rarely gave before December 2025 and has used often since. 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.
