All five are named sections or components found inside a theatre building.
Explanation
Short: All five are named sections or components found inside a theatre building.
Every clue names a distinct part that belongs to a theatre: seats, stage, curtain, roster, and programme. The shared label is therefore 'Parts of a theatre.'
- The part of a theatre where an audience sits.
- The flat area where actors perform.
- The heavy fabric that hangs from the ceiling to hide the stage.
- A list of performers or cast members.
- An ordered list of what is shown or performed.

How to play
Read the clues
Open every clue you have so far and read them as one set, not five separate questions. Look for the word that quietly lives in all of them at once.
Name the pattern
Before you type an answer, say what kind of puzzle this is: shared property, two senses of one word, a missing compound partner, or a category list. Pattern first shrinks the search.
Reveal more clues
Stuck is not failure; it is a signal to open the next line. Each new clue kills candidates that only half-fit and keeps the honest one standing.
Check and commit
Test your candidate against every clue, especially the weird one. If it survives all five, submit it. If not, open another clue instead of forcing a partial fit.
Most rounds turn on a single habit: keep two candidate answers alive until one clearly dies. First guesses feel right because the editors know which reading is busiest, and they put you on it on purpose. Holding a second option for ten extra seconds is the difference between solving in three clues and needing all five.
After you finish, spend a minute on why each clue pointed where it did. That minute compounds. People who improve fastest are not the ones who look up more answers; they are the ones who can name the pattern out loud before the word.
Frequently asked questions
What is LinkedIn Pinpoint?
Pinpoint is the daily word game inside LinkedIn. You get five clues that all point at one hidden answer. Clues unlock one at a time, so you can jump in early with a guess or wait until the full set is open. When you name the word that honestly fits all five, the round is done. It takes a couple of minutes, which is exactly why people keep the streak alive between meetings.
When does the Pinpoint puzzle reset?
A new puzzle appears once a day on LinkedIn's schedule. In practice that means a fresh round after midnight Pacific, with the previous puzzle moving into the archive. Your browser and the phone app run on the same clock, so if you open the game and still see yesterday's clues, wait a minute or reload. Streaks are daily; missing a calendar day is what breaks them, not missing the exact reset minute.
Where can I find today's Pinpoint answer?
Start on the Today page or the homepage. Both show the current puzzle number, all five clues, three progressive hints, and a button that reveals the answer only when you ask for it. Under the reveal you get a short reason the answer fits and a clue-by-clue explanation, so you can see which sense of the word each line was using. Nothing is spoiled until you click.
Do you publish answers for every past puzzle?
Every puzzle that is in this site's database gets a full answer page: the five clues, progressive hints, difficulty, category, answer pattern, and explanations for each clue. The archive and calendar link straight to those pages. Older rounds are added as they are checked against the live game, so coverage grows over time instead of showing empty shells with just an answer word.
How is difficulty assigned?
Difficulty is our editorial call, not LinkedIn data. Easy means the link between clues and answer is common and most solvers see it in the first couple of reveals. Medium means the set is fair but one or two clues read wrong on first pass. Hard means rare senses, niche vocab, or clues written to pull you toward the wrong word. We rate each puzzle the same way every time so the easy, medium, and hard lists stay comparable.
Can I search past Pinpoint answers?
Yes. Search looks at puzzle number, clue text, answer words, category, pattern, and date from this site's own database. Typing a number like 874 jumps to that round. Typing a word like coffee finds answers and clues that mention it. Search results stay off the sitemap on purpose; they are for you, not for thousands of auto-generated URLs.
Is using an answer site cheating?
That is between you and your streak. Plenty of people finish the game first, then open an explanation to see why clue four was pointing somewhere else. Others use hints when day three of a streak is on the line. This site exists for the second group and for anyone who wants to learn the pattern instead of guessing forever. We do not post your result anywhere.
Why do my clues look different from the site?
Each day has one puzzle number and one answer for everyone, so the set should match once the same date is live. If this page and your app disagree, you are probably looking at different dates: yesterday's round after reset, or a timezone edge. Check the puzzle number on both sides. If the number matches and a clue still reads wrong, the wording may have been updated in game; a quick note with the number and date helps us fix it.
What is the difference between a category and a pattern?
Category is the subject the answer belongs to, like Food or Business. Pattern is the relationship between the clues and the answer, like Words After or Different Meanings. Two puzzles can share a Food category and use completely different patterns. Learning patterns is usually the faster path to fewer clue reveals, because the same eight relationships keep coming back with new surface words.
How do I improve if I always need all five clues?
After the reveal, read only the clue-by-clue section and name the pattern out loud. Then open one more puzzle the same day from the same pattern tag. Two rounds in a row beat ten passive reads. Over a week you will start noticing phrase patterns (answer sits before or after the clue) versus meaning patterns (answer carries several senses) before you type a guess, and that notice is what drops you from five clues to two or three.
