Pinpoint tips for tomorrow

  • Think in LinkedIn categories. Pinpoint themes lean professional and everyday: office supplies, job titles, brands, foods. Start broad.
  • Look for the odd pairing. If two clues seem unrelated, the category is probably wordplay: words that precede or follow another word, or hidden words.
  • Say the clues together. Reading all revealed clues in one breath often makes the pattern jump out.
