How to Solve it
A step-by-step walkthrough of this puzzle
- 1
Venomous First ☠️
Krait and Copperhead are both venomous snakes, so the opening clues suggest a category of venomous snakes. That reading is reasonable because both are familiar dangerous snakes.
- 2
Python Breaks It 🐍
Python rules out that reading because pythons are nonvenomous constrictors. The pattern is broader: each clue names a recognized kind of snake.
- 3
Constriction Confirms 🪢
Viper fits the venomous side, while Boa constrictor fits the nonvenomous constrictor side. Together, the five clues confirm types of snake.
Each clue names a type of snake.

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 Krait, Copperhead, Python, Viper and Boa constrictor?
The answer to Pinpoint #846 is Types of snake. Every clue in the set — Krait, Copperhead, Python, Viper and Boa constrictor — belongs to “Types of snake”, which is the thread you're looking for.
If you got there in one or two clues, the giveaway was almost certainly Krait paired with Copperhead — 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. Krait on its own fits a dozen categories; Krait plus Copperhead 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.
