How to Play LinkedIn Pinpoint

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.
  • Use our archive to spot recurring category patterns the editors use.
