How Pinpoint works

Each Pinpoint puzzle gives you five clues that all connect to one hidden theme — a category, an industry, a phrase template, anything. The clues run hardest to easiest: the first is usually cryptic, the fifth almost a giveaway. You earn 5 points for guessing after the first clue, dropping to 4, 3, 2, then 1 as each additional clue is revealed. A new puzzle drops every day at midnight UTC.

Pinpoint is one of LinkedIn's free daily games, alongside Queens, Tango and Crossclimb. Play it in the LinkedIn app or on the web. This is an independent reference — not affiliated with LinkedIn — that keeps a searchable record of every day's clues and answer.
