How to Solve it
A step-by-step walkthrough of this puzzle
- 1
Nose and Napkin 🧻
Nose and napkin suggest things that loop around or hold something: jewelry at the face and a holder at the table. That makes a physical-accessory reading feel plausible.
- 2
Mood Changes Course 🎭
Mood breaks that narrow reading: it does not name something a ring holds or circles. Instead, each clue comes before “ring” in a familiar term.
- 3
Boxing and Vows 🥊
A boxing ring is the platform for a match, while a wedding ring is worn after vows. They confirm that each clue names a familiar kind of ring.
Words that form familiar phrases by coming before “ring.”

What connects Nose, Napkin, Mood, Boxing and Wedding (worn after “I dos”)?
The answer to Pinpoint #883 is Types of rings. Every clue in the set — Nose, Napkin, Mood, Boxing and Wedding (worn after “I dos”) — belongs to “Types of rings”, which is the thread you're looking for.
If you got there in one or two clues, the giveaway was almost certainly Nose paired with Napkin — 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. Nose on its own fits a dozen categories; Nose plus Napkin 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.
