This page is the complete answer guide for the LinkedIn Pinpoint puzzle numbered #744, published on May 14, 2026. Above you will find the clue words for this puzzle, listed in the same order the official game reveals them, along with the confirmed category answer.
If you arrived here looking for a specific clue, work down the list one at a time rather than jumping straight to the answer — that way you take only as much help as you actually need. The clues are deliberately ordered from broadest to most specific, so reading just one or two more is often enough to get you unstuck without spoiling the solve entirely. If you would rather just confirm the category, the answer is revealed in the panel above.
Missed this puzzle in the official app and want to try it properly? Unfortunately LinkedIn removes each puzzle once its day ends, so it can no longer be played for a score. You can, however, still use it as practice — read clue one, try to name the category, and check yourself against the answer here. Working through past puzzles this way is genuinely one of the most effective ways to sharpen your Pinpoint instincts.

A quick refresher on the rules and a few strategies to crack the daily puzzle in fewer guesses.
1
You see one clue word
The puzzle starts with a single word. It belongs to a hidden category — your job is to figure out which.
2
Guess the category
Type your best guess for the umbrella category. "Things in a kitchen", "World capitals", "Types of dance" — all valid forms.
3
Each miss reveals a new clue
Wrong guess? A second related word appears. You get up to 5 clue words, each tightening the field.
4
Solve in fewer guesses for a higher score
Lock the category in clue one for a perfect score. Burn all five guesses without solving and the streak resets.
Pro tips
Always start with the broadest plausible category — it's your only shot at a perfect score.
Watch for wordplay categories ("ends in -son", "compound words with 'fire'").
Common Pinpoint themes: music genres, sports, foods, places, business terms, idioms, types of dance.
If two clues seem unrelated, the category is probably abstract ("associated with luck"), not literal.
Stuck? Read clue 5 carefully — it usually contains a letter, length, or shape hint.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the daily LinkedIn Pinpoint puzzle.
LinkedIn Pinpoint is a free daily category-guessing puzzle published by the LinkedIn News team. You are shown one clue word at a time — up to five in total — and your job is to identify the hidden umbrella category that all the clue words belong to. The fewer clues you need, the higher your score.
The official LinkedIn Pinpoint puzzle resets once every 24 hours. This site publishes the full set of clues and the confirmed answer for the new puzzle at 8:00 AM London time each day, so our readers have the guide ready first thing in the morning.
Each daily puzzle gives you up to five clue words, revealed one at a time as you make incorrect guesses. They generally run from broadest to narrowest — clue one could fit many categories, while clue five is usually specific enough to give the answer away. Our daily post lists all five in order plus the solution.
If you visit before that day's puzzle has been published, the page shows a live countdown to 8:00 AM London time. When the timer reaches zero the page refreshes automatically and the clues and answer appear — no need to reload manually.
The key is to not guess on clue one unless you are genuinely confident. Use the first clue to brainstorm every possible category, then use clue two to find the overlap. Guessing early and missing wastes your best scoring chance. Our full strategy guide on the homepage goes through this in detail.
No. This is an independent fan-made answer guide. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to LinkedIn Corporation in any way. We simply publish daily clues and solutions to help players who are stuck or who missed a day. The official game on LinkedIn is always the authoritative source.
LinkedIn does not currently offer an in-app archive of past puzzles — once a day ends, that puzzle is gone from the official game. Our archive fills that gap: it keeps every past puzzle's clues and answer, organised by puzzle number and date, so you can revisit any day you missed.
LinkedIn News Games currently includes four titles. Pinpoint is the category-guessing game covered on this site. Crossclimb is a word-ladder puzzle. Queens is a logic-grid puzzle. Tango is a binary-style number puzzle. Pinpoint is generally the quickest of the four — most players finish in under three minutes.
Yes. Pinpoint, like all the LinkedIn News Games, is completely free. You do need a LinkedIn account to play the official game and to have your streak and stats saved. This answer guide is also free and does not require any account or sign-up.
Most players finish in one to three minutes. A confident solver who recognises the category on clue one or two can finish in well under a minute. If you are working all the way to clue five it might take a few minutes of careful thinking — which is exactly when a guide like this is handy.
If you exhaust all five clues without guessing the category correctly, the puzzle ends without a win for that day and your daily streak resets. That is the main reason players look up answers — to protect a long streak when a particular category just isn't clicking.
Yes. The official game tracks how many days in a row you have solved the puzzle, similar to other daily word games. Missing a day or failing to solve resets the streak to zero, which is why many players check a guide rather than risk a wrong final guess.
We deliberately hold each day's clues until a fixed publish time so that every reader sees the same content at the same moment. It keeps the daily experience consistent and prevents half-finished posts from being visible while the day's answer is still being verified.
Absolutely. While we verify every answer against the official game before publishing, mistakes are always possible. If you spot something that looks off, please use our contact form and we will review and correct it quickly.
No. This answer guide is completely open — no login, no sign-up, no newsletter required. Just visit the homepage for today's puzzle or browse the archive for any past day.
