Overview

About this puzzle

LinkedIn Pinpoint #786 is the LinkedIn Pinpoint daily for June 25, 2026. Pinpoint is LinkedIn's category-guessing game: five clues share one hidden theme, and you get up to five guesses with optional hints on the board below. This page includes the live board, hint tools, and a full solution walkthrough. Difficulty: Medium. Estimated solve time: 4–6 min. Read the explainer sections below for strategy, or jump straight into play.

Solution

Why the answer works

This puzzle asks you to find the single category linking five clues: Tanganyika, Baikal, Michigan, Geneva, and Titicaca. The answer is Names of lakes. The clues are deliberately varied on the surface, but they all belong to the same theme. The winning category should fit every row naturally—if one clue feels forced, try a broader or narrower phrase. Players usually read every clue first, look for a repeated phrase pattern or shared property, then test a category guess that fits all five before using extra reveals. The solution tab walks through the full answer if you want to verify your reasoning.
