Pinpoint 867 started cute and loud: Tweety Bird.

One name, and my brain immediately sprinted to Looney Tunes. Sylvester, Bugs, Daffy — the whole cast felt close enough that I almost talked myself into waiting. But Pinpoint does not wait for you.

So I swung early with Looney Tunes characters.

Pac-Man dropped next, and that guess died on impact.

Pac-Man is not hanging out with Tweety. Different studio, different decade, different medium. Franchise theory was gone.

I started listing what still connected them:

cartoon icons

chase-and-be-chased energy

and, honestly, that bright color both of them wear so loudly

The color kept winning the argument.

Tweety is yellow. Pac-Man is yellow. That simple.

I went with Yellow characters.

The official wording is cleaner: Fictional characters that are yellow.

After that, the rest of the board just piled on the confirmation. SpongeBob SquarePants is pure sunshine sponge energy. Bart Simpson is yellow by design. And The Minions (rhymes with Bello!) finished the set with zero subtlety left.

Two guesses. One wrong franchise detour. One color-based save.

Sometimes Pinpoint hides behind wordplay. Today it just asked whether you could see the obvious trait once the second clue ruined your first theory.
