How to Play LinkedIn Pinpoint
The goal: name the hidden category that links five items. The catch — they're revealed one at a time, and the fewer clues you need, the higher your score. It's a daily test of lateral thinking.
Read clue one
One item from the category appears.
Name the category
Guess what connects the items.
More clues
Each wrong guess reveals another clue, up to five.
Score by speed
Solve in one clue for 5/5, down to 1/5 at clue five.
How to Solve Pinpoint in Fewer Clues
Pinpoint rewards spotting the pattern early. These tactics help.
1. Don't over-commit on clue one
One item fits many categories. Waiting for clue two usually still scores 4/5 and avoids a wrong guess.
2. Watch for word patterns
Many categories aren't "types of X" — they're words that share a prefix or suffix, like items that all precede "back" (paperback, cutback, feedback).
3. Make all five fit
If four clues are fruit but one isn't, the category is broader than "fruit." The answer is what every clue shares.
4. Phrase it simply
Guess the plainest wording that fits — "things that grow on trees" beats over-specific phrasing.
