1. Retrieve the public puzzle
Our scheduled monitor checks LinkedIn's publicly available Pinpoint game data after the daily release. It records the puzzle number, publication date, five clues, and answer. If the edition is missing or incomplete, the previous verified puzzle remains live.
2. Test the proposed connection
An answer must explain all five clues. We identify the strongest early anchors, look for an alternative interpretation that could disprove the category, and use the last clues as cross-checks. A plausible answer that leaves one clue unexplained is not treated as verified.
3. Explain the connection without inventing an experience
AI assists with drafts and revisions. A reasoning path demonstrates how the clues support the supplied answer; it is not a diary of a person solving the puzzle. Edited guides can add counterexamples and linked factual references. A reference supports the stated claim, not every sentence on the page.
4. Distinguish publication checks from human review
New Pinpoint explanations publish automatically after generation and automated content checks. These check structure, distinct clue explanations, unsupported personal-experience language and similarity to recent guides. Failed generations stay unpublished and may be retried; the latest published guide remains available. No daily human approval is required.
Automated explanations retain their “not human reviewed” disclosure. Structural checks and update timestamps are not proof of factual accuracy or human approval.
5. Publish and correct
Guides show edition and update dates, source links and the responsible site byline. Material corrections are recorded in the correction log. Older game solutions remain dated archive records, not substitutes for today's missing answer.
