Why is the May 8 answer locked?

The May 8 LinkedIn Pinpoint answer is held back until 8:00 AM London time on the day it's scheduled to drop. We do this so every reader sees the same clues at the same time — no spoilers, no timezone shortcuts, no early peeks. The countdown above shows exactly how long until the clues unlock for everyone.

Once the timer hits zero, the page refreshes automatically and reveals all five clues plus the reveal button. If you'd rather not wait, you can browse our archive of past Pinpoint answers or play the official LinkedIn Pinpoint game for today's puzzle directly.

Tip: bookmark this page so the May 8 clues land in your bookmarks the moment they go live — no guessing what time the puzzle drops.

Game Guide

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.
