How to Solve it
A step-by-step walkthrough of this puzzle
- 1
Fair Market Mind 📊
Fair, Market, and Mind each pair naturally with one short noun. With only these three, that looks like a loose set of familiar expressions rather than a single strict pattern.
- 2
Earnings Per Clue 💰
“Earnings per” forces one exact completion: “share.” That makes the earlier clues part of a clear word-before-word pattern, not a random group of expressions.
- 3
Lion’s Largest Part 🦁
“The lion’s (the largest part)” completes as “the lion’s share,” a familiar idiom. It confirms that every clue takes the same word after it.
Words that come before “share”.

What connects Fair, Market, Mind, Earnings per and The lion’s (the largest part)?

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. Fair on its own fits a dozen categories; Fair plus Market 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.
