LinkedIn Pinpoint
November 25, 2025
Puzzles have this unique power to confound and delight. Take the latest LinkedIn Pinpoint #574, for example. I was initially thrown off by the Hot clue. My mind went all over the place, trying to connect it to something fiery or intense. It wasn't until I stepped back that I realized it related to a common phrase: hot shower. This one clue started to anchor my thoughts, but I still had a way to go.
| Word | Connection | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Hot | Temperature and comfort | A common phrase is 'hot shower,' which is refreshing. |
| Cold | Opposite temperature | 'Cold shower' is often referenced for its invigorating effects. |
| Rain | Weather phenomenon | 'Rain shower' describes a brief period of rain, often in localized areas. |
| Baby | Celebratory event | 'Baby shower' refers to a party celebrating an expecting parent. |
| Meteor (like the Leonids this month) | Astronomical event | 'Meteor shower' happens when many meteors are visible in the sky. |
