How to Solve it
- 1
Words In Disguise 🥸
Sat, Wed, and Sun can initially look like ordinary words: sat, wed, and sun. That makes a spelling or word-fragment reading reasonable.
- 2
Friday Gives It Away 📅
Fri breaks that reading because it is not a normal standalone English word in the same way. It exposes a set of standard three-letter calendar abbreviations.
- 3
Weekdays Confirmed 🗓️
Mon completes the same pattern as the other four clues. Each short form expands cleanly to one day of the week.

What connects Sat, Wed, Sun, Fri and Mon? That's Pinpoint #818, the LinkedIn puzzle from Monday, July 27th, 2026. Tap any clue above to open a nudge for that word, read the final hint if you want one more push, then reveal the category. Below the answer there's a full walkthrough: the wrong turn these clues invite, the clue that breaks it open, and what each word actually pairs with.
What connects Sat, Wed, Sun, Fri and Mon?
The answer to Pinpoint #818 is Abbreviations for days of the week. Every clue in the set — Sat, Wed, Sun, Fri and Mon — belongs to “Abbreviations for days of the week”, which is the thread you're looking for.
If you got there in one or two clues, the giveaway was almost certainly Sat paired with Wed — 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. Sat on its own fits a dozen categories; Sat plus Wed 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.
