Pinpoint #754 — clue-by-clue analysis
LinkedIn Pinpoint #754 (Sunday, May 24, 2026) gives 5 clues — Plates, Coins, Frisbees, Manhole Covers, CDs And DVDs (it's The Last D) — that all point to one answer. It plays as a named set puzzle, and the full answer analysis sits behind the spoiler control below.
Clue 1: Plates
"Plates" opens the puzzle. Opening clues are chosen to be broad, so treat it as a starting hypothesis generator: note the two or three most natural directions it suggests and wait for evidence before committing.
Clue 2: Coins
"Coins" is the eliminator. Any theory that survived "Plates" must now also account for "Coins" — discard whatever can't stretch, and keep the theories that explain both without effort.
Clue 3: Frisbees
"Frisbees" is the pivot. A real answer explains "Plates", "Coins" and "Frisbees" at the same time; if one idea does that cleanly, it is very likely the category. If nothing does, switch families entirely rather than stretching.
Clue 4: Manhole Covers
"Manhole Covers" is a confirmation clue: it should add a new facet of the answer or rule out a competing reading of the earlier clues.
Clue 5: CDs And DVDs (it's The Last D)
"CDs And DVDs (it's The Last D)" is the lock. Read backwards under the answer, it should feel inevitable rather than merely compatible. The full reasoning — and the answer itself — is in the spoiler-controlled section below.
The full breakdown below reveals the answer.
