How to Solve it
A step-by-step walkthrough of this puzzle
- 1
Messages in Transit 📬
The first three clues seem to describe forms of communication reaching someone. A speech is presented, while a newspaper and mail arrive, so a message-based reading is reasonable.

The Punch Lands 🥊
A knockout blow breaks the communication theory. It is not a message, but it can still be delivered, exposing the shared verb.

What connects A speech, The daily newspaper, The mail, A knockout blow and Restaurant food brought to you?
The answer to Pinpoint #837 is Things that are delivered. Every clue in the set — A speech, The daily newspaper, The mail, A knockout blow and Restaurant food brought to you — belongs to “Things that are delivered”, which is the thread you're looking for.

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. A speech on its own fits a dozen categories; A speech plus The daily newspaper 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.
