Pinpoint 880 started simple and still managed to trip me up.

Fair showed up alone, and my brain immediately went compound-word hunting. Fair play felt clean. Maybe fair game. Maybe festival vibes. With almost no information, I still had to fire something, so I went with Words before 'play'.

Then Market landed, and the board suddenly felt more business-y. Fair value. Market value. That path looked strong enough to bet on, so I tried Words before 'value'.

I was starting to feel that familiar mid-puzzle frustration: the structure felt right, but the anchor word was off.

Mind share. Suddenly fair share and market share lined up too cleanly to ignore. I still had a couple of backup ideas floating around, but this one felt sharper and more Pinpoint-coded. So I locked in Words before 'share'.

After that, the last two clues just stamped the win. Earnings per → earnings per share. The lion’s (the largest part) → the lion’s share. Beautiful confirmation.
