LinkedIn Games Answers, Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026: Queens, Tango, Zip, Pinpoint, Crossclimb

Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026, has Pinpoint #919, Crossclimb #919, Queens #919, Tango #759 and Zip #598 waiting on LinkedIn, and the word-game clues below come before any answer. The set went live at midnight Pacific Time (PT), 3 a.m. Eastern Time (ET). Two answer pages dated today had to agree before we printed a solution, and those solutions stay in the spoiler section at the bottom.

Thursday’s Pinpoint and Crossclimb hints, Nov. 5, 2026

• Pinpoint #919, first nudge: the hidden link is one short word that sits in front of each clue to make a familiar term.
• Pinpoint #919, stronger nudge: that word is something hard you could pick up on a beach or find in an old wall, and it also names a prehistoric era.
• Crossclimb #919, the middle rungs: five four-letter words, starting with a word for a discount event and ending with a word for the back of something, like a deer’s rear legs.
• Crossclimb #919, more help: between those, look for a word meaning of sound mind, the grains on a beach and the part of your arm you write with.
• Crossclimb #919, the locked ends: both are kinds of moving air. One is a strong blast at sea; the other is the everyday word for air on the move.

Crossclimb #919 ladder map, Nov. 5, 2026

The table tracks which letter position changes at each step, without naming the words. Positions run 1 to 4 from left to right.

Step	Letter position that changes
Top end to rung 1	1
Rung 1 to rung 2	3
Rung 2 to rung 3	4
Rung 3 to rung 4	1
Rung 4 to rung 5	2
Rung 5 to bottom end	1

Three of the six steps swap the first letter, so if you are stuck, try a new opening letter before touching the middle of the word.

Patches and Wend had no number on the pages we read. Every game’s rules are on our LinkedIn games page.

Getting started on Queens, Tango and Zip

Queens #919. Start with the smallest colored region. If it covers only one row or one column, its queen already rules out that whole line for every other color.

Tango #759. Three of the same symbol can never sit side by side, so any two matching symbols in a row tell you what the cells on both sides must be.

Zip #598. Trace backward from the highest number. The end of the path often has fewer ways in than the start, which trims the choices quickly.

Scroll no further if you are still solving.

• Pinpoint #919: Terms that come after stone.
• Crossclimb #919: Gale, Sale, Sane, Sand, Hand, Hind, Wind. Sale, Sane, Sand, Hand and Hind fill the middle in that order; Gale and Wind are the two ends.

Checked against the hints: a sale is a discount event, sane means of sound mind, sand covers a beach, you write with your hand and hind means at the back. A gale is a strong wind at sea, and wind is air on the move.

Solutions for Queens, Tango, Zip, Mini Sudoku, Patches and Wend are left out: every answer page we checked showed them only as images, so two sources never confirmed a text answer.
