Pinpoint #912 hints and answer for Thursday, October 29, 2026
Pinpoint deals its five clue words one at a time, and today's set opens with two that fly and flow in very different ways. The link is a single word that can follow every clue on the board. 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 5Tap to show one hint at a time. Stop as soon as you have enough.
Clue 1 is Jet. On its own it points at planes and engines, so hold it loosely - Pinpoint loves a first clue that leans the wrong way.
Clue 2 is Gulf. A gulf is water, which sits oddly next to a jet - unless the link between them is not a place or a machine at all.
Clue 3 is Blood. Three clues in, the shared word is something all three can run in, flow in, or be a kind of.
Clue 4 is Live (on Twitch). The bracket matters: this clue is about broadcasting, not about being alive.
Clue 5 is the fragment Swimming up-. Read it as a direction of travel, against the current, and the word that completes the set should surface.

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.
