LinkedIn Pinpoint
March 26, 2026
Puzzles can be a wild ride, can't they? I was tangled in a web of thoughts when I took on LinkedIn Pinpoint #695. The clues were a real mixed bag: Tiger, Plane, Towel, Weight, and Clip. I initially looked at each word in isolation, thinking there had to be something obvious I was missing. My brain jumped to all sorts of connections. For example, I thought about a tiger in a zoo, then suddenly, I was off on a tangent thinking about wildlife documentaries. But that wasn't what I needed.
