Hints, in order
Hint 0 of 5Tap to show one hint at a time. Stop as soon as you have enough.
Clue 1 is Fair. On its own it points in several directions at once - Pinpoint loves an opener that leans the wrong way, so hold it loosely.
Clue 2 is Market. Set it next to clue 1 and ask what single category could hold both.
Clue 3 is Mind. Three clues in, the category is usually within reach - most solves land here or on the next clue.
Clue 4 is Earnings per. If the first three left room for doubt, this one should narrow the category to a single answer.
Clue 5 is The lion’s (the largest part). All five clues are on the board now, and exactly one category fits every one of them.

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.
