Pinpoint 761 completely sent me in the wrong direction at first.

The opening clue, Assembly diagrams, made me think of manuals, technical documents, maybe even IKEA-style booklets. With so little to go on, I guessed "Types of instructions."

When Compass roses appeared, I felt more confident. Now we were clearly in map territory. Directions. Navigation. Symbols you'd find printed on paper.

So I guessed "Things found on maps."

At this point, I was mildly annoyed. Two guesses down and no clear category.

Then the third clue dropped: Archery classes.

And that's when it clicked.

Suddenly my brain replayed the earlier clues. Assembly diagrams? They use arrows to show where parts go. Compass roses? They literally have directional arrows. This wasn't about maps or instructions.

It was about the shape.

That small, pointy symbol.

I considered a softer phrasing like "Things associated with arrows," but then simplified it. The category had to be broader and cleaner.

So I guessed something centered on where you encounter that symbol.

Everything snapped into place.

One-way street signs obviously display them. And the final clue—Bottom right of your keyboard—sealed it. The arrow keys. The most obvious example of all.

Once you see it, it feels obvious. But getting there? Not so obvious.
