LinkedIn Pinpoint #747Answer & Analysis

Quick read: A word association puzzle connecting five clues through a shared theme.

Fast strategy: Start broad, narrow after clue two. If the first two clues seem unrelated, test whether a hidden word connects them as compound phrases.

The answer is Varieties of grape. Use the table below to check each clue, then skim the compact FAQ for the quickest path to the connection.

I love when a Pinpoint puzzle clicks right away.

Today's first clue was Kyoho — and that name rang a very specific bell. Not geography. Not wine branding. Not desserts.

More specifically… a very large, juicy one I've seen in Asian supermarkets.

When I saw Kyoho, three ideas flashed through my head:

Maybe something about Japanese produce

Maybe something wine-related

Or simply… types of grapes

Kyoho is famous as a giant grape variety from Japan. And Pinpoint often leans into straightforward category groupings like "Types of X."

So instead of overthinking it, I trusted the obvious connection and guessed:

Correct on the first try.

That satisfying green checkmark feeling never gets old.

Once the answer was revealed, the remaining clues felt like a victory lap.

Red Globe — one of the most common table grapes worldwide. Big, round, sweet. Total confirmation.

Thompson Seedless (Sultana) — the classic green seedless grape. Also used for raisins. At this point, there was zero doubt.

Then the puzzle shifted slightly into wine territory:

Chardonnay. Cabernet Sauvignon.

That pairing sealed it beautifully — white and red icons of the wine world. Fresh eating grapes and wine grapes together under one clean umbrella.

Sometimes Pinpoint tries to trick you with abstract connections.

Today wasn't one of those days.

It rewarded recognizing the simplest, strongest category early — and having the confidence to go for it.
