Monday’s hints, Nov. 2, 2026

• Pinpoint: the category is about the pieces that make up a message someone writes to another person.
• Pinpoint, a way in: think of how a note opens, what comes before the sign-off and the name at the bottom.
• Crossclimb #916: seven four-letter words, and each rung changes one letter from the one before it.
• Crossclimb #916, middle of the ladder: think of a drip from a pipe, a bird’s bill, a growling animal of the woods, a wild pig and to fly upward.

LinkedIn’s eight daily games

Descriptions follow LinkedIn’s Help Center. Anyone can play, with or without a LinkedIn account, and there are no prizes; a streak counts your daily wins.

Game	What you do
Queens	Place one queen in every row, column and colored region
Tango	Fill a grid with two symbols so each row and column holds an equal number of each
Zip	Draw one path that visits the numbers in order and fills every cell
Mini Sudoku	Fill a small grid so each row, column and shaded region has every number once
Pinpoint	Guess the category that links a set of words, with up to five clues
Crossclimb	Order a word ladder where each word changes one letter, then solve the top and bottom
Patches	Complete every shape in the grid from a set of clues
Wend	Connect letters to find the hidden words, using every letter once

Tips for the logic grids

Queens. Start with the smallest colored region. If a region sits entirely inside one row or column, no other region can place its queen in that line, so cross that line off for everyone else.

Tango. In LinkedIn’s Tango, no more than two identical symbols sit next to each other in a row or column. Look for two in a row and mark the cells on both ends with the other symbol, then count: a line that already holds half of one symbol takes the other in every empty cell.

Zip. Work from both ends: the path must start at 1 and end at the highest number, and dead-end corners force the path’s shape.

• Pinpoint: Parts of written correspondence.
• Crossclimb #916: Lead, Leak, Beak, Bear, Boar, Soar, Star. The ladder runs from Lead to Star, and each step changes one letter; the game decides which end sits on top.

The middle rungs match the hints: a leak is a drip from a pipe, a beak is a bird’s bill, a bear is a growling animal of the woods, a boar is a wild pig and soar means to fly upward.
