How to Solve it

  1. 1

    A Price Hunch 💰

    Fair, Asking, and Market look like labels for kinds of prices. That makes a commercial or shopping category seem likely, with each clue describing a price used in a different context.

  2. 2

    Name Your Turn 🔤

    Name your does not name a kind of price on its own. It completes the familiar phrase “Name your price,” revealing that the clues are word combinations rather than price categories.

  3. 3

What connects Fair, Asking, Market, Sale and Name your? That's Pinpoint #822, the LinkedIn puzzle from Friday, July 31st, 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.

What connects Fair, Asking, Market, Sale and Name your?

How Pinpoint works

RuleDetail
GoalGuess the category that connects all five clue words (for example, “Apple, Dell, Acer, HP” → computer brands).
Clues reveal one at a timeYou start with one word and get another after each wrong guess, up to five — the fewer you need, the better your score.
GuessesType the category; the game tells you if you're right. You have a limited number of tries.

Solving a clue set like this one

  • Put the first two clues side by side before guessing anything. Fair on its own fits a dozen categories; Fair plus Asking 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.
