Spoiler ahead. This page covers the Fri, Oct 16 Pinpoint. The hints come first; every clue and the answer sit behind a control you open yourself.
This is yesterday's LinkedIn Pinpoint, #899 from Fri, Oct 16, kept for a day. The hints come first, then the answer, so you can check your guesses. New to it? Our LinkedIn Pinpoint game page covers where to play, the modes and our tips.
Pinpoint reveals up to five words, one at a time, and asks for the category that links them. The first word could belong to dozens of categories; each new one narrows the field, and your score counts how few words you needed.
Name the category as precisely as you can, although a close answer is often accepted. Before you guess, test the idea against every word on screen, because a category that fits three words out of four is exactly the trap the next clue is built to spring.
