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). |
Tips for solving Pinpoint
- Hold your guess until at least the second or third clue — a single word usually fits many categories, and a wrong early guess burns a clue.
- Look for the narrowest common thread: “Apple” and “Dell” could be many things, but adding “Acer” points hard at computer brands.
- Watch for a twist — Pinpoint often hides the theme in wordplay (a shared hidden word, homophones) rather than a plain topic.
- If you're only here to check, reveal the answer tiles below; if you want to keep playing, read the clue words above and take one more guess first.
