Pinpoint 870 started deceptively simple. One word on the board: Nuts.

My first instincts were pure surface-level. Shells. Snacks. Maybe slang for crazy. With almost nothing to work with, I leaned on a familiar shared-property guess and tried Things with shells.

Then Bananas showed up.

Okay, now it looked food-ish. Nuts and bananas. Snack tray energy. I also floated compound ideas like banana bread or nut bread, and that felt more “Pinpoint” than just listing fruits. So I went with Words before bread.

Then Cold turkey landed, and the whole food theory collapsed.

That phrase does not sit politely next to nuts and bananas as ingredients. It sits next to go cold turkey. And once that clicked, the earlier words snapped into place too: go nuts, go bananas.

I submitted Words after go — and it was right.
