How to Solve it

Grave Meets Presto 🎼
The opening words look like Italian directions for how music should be performed. That reading is reasonable because such terms can describe mood, character, or style.
- 2
Speed Takes Shape ⏱️
Presto points to quickness, while Grave points to extreme slowness. Together, they show that these terms mark speed rather than general musical expression.

What connects Grave, Presto, Adagio, Andante and Allegro (120+ beats per minute)?
The answer to Pinpoint #802 is Musical tempos. Every clue in the set — Grave, Presto, Adagio, Andante and Allegro (120+ beats per minute) — belongs to “Musical tempos”, which is the thread you're looking for.
If you got there in one or two clues, the giveaway was almost certainly Grave paired with Presto — that combination rules out most of the categories a single word could belong to. The clue-by-clue breakdown above the fold shows exactly where each word lands.
How Pinpoint works
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Goal | Guess the category that connects all five clue words (for example, “Apple, Dell, Acer, HP” → computer brands). |
| Clues reveal one at a time | You start with one word and get another after each wrong guess, up to five — the fewer you need, the better your score. |
| Guesses | Type the category; the game tells you if you're right. You have a limited number of tries. |
| Reset | A new Pinpoint puzzle drops every day at midnight Pacific Time (3:00 a.m. Eastern). |
Solving a clue set like this one
- Put the first two clues side by side before guessing anything. Grave on its own fits a dozen categories; Grave plus Presto usually fits one or two.
- If your first theory dies on clue three, don't patch it — throw it out. A theory that needs an exception for one clue is the wrong theory.
- Check for a shared word before you check for a shared topic. Pinpoint loves sets where every clue sits in front of (or behind) the same hidden word.
- Say each clue out loud. Homophones and phrases hide in plain sight when you only read them.
How Pinpoint scoring works
You see one clue to start and earn another after every wrong guess, up to five. Solving on clue one is the best possible result and solving on clue five still counts as a win, so there's no reason to rush a guess you're not confident in — a wrong answer costs you a clue you can't get back.
