Pinpoint #680 hints and answer for Wednesday, March 11, 2026

LinkedIn Pinpoint · 5 clue words · One puzzle a day · Spoiler-free until you choose otherwise

Five clue words, one category. Wednesday's set starts broad and narrows as the clues land - most solves arrive on the third or fourth clue. Work down the hint ladder as far as you need - each hint walks one clue further into the puzzle - then check the answer box at the bottom.

Hints, in order

Hint 0 of 5

Tap to show one hint at a time. Stop as soon as you have enough.

Hint 1 of 5

Clue 1 is Cobalt. On its own it points in several directions at once - Pinpoint loves an opener that leans the wrong way, so hold it loosely.

Hint 2 of 5

Clue 2 is Powder. Set it next to clue 1 and ask what single category could hold both.

Hint 3 of 5

Clue 3 is Baby. Three clues in, the category is usually within reach - most solves land here or on the next clue.

Hint 4 of 5

Clue 4 is Navy. If the first three left room for doubt, this one should narrow the category to a single answer.

Hint 5 of 5

Clue 5 is Sky. All five clues are on the board now, and exactly one category fits every one of them.

The answer

This is the full solution to Pinpoint #680. Only tap if you are ready.

How Pinpoint works

Pinpoint is LinkedIn's category game. It deals five clue words one at a time, and after each clue you can guess the single category that connects all five. Solving on the first clue means you read the puzzle setter's mind; most solves land on the third or fourth clue, when the pattern finally narrows. A new puzzle arrives every day.
