If you’ve played LinkedIn Pinpoint, you know the challenge lies in spotting the hidden thread connecting seemingly unrelated words. In Pinpoint 468, the answer revolves around words commonly paired with “year.”
🕵️ Step-by-Step Guessing Process
1. First Clue – “Light”
The first word, Light, can mean illumination or speed of light. At first glance, it’s pretty broad, but if you think of “light year,” a familiar scientific term, you might start suspecting the link involves “year.”
2. Second Clue – “New”
Next came New, a word often used to describe something recent or fresh. “New year” is a common phrase marking the beginning of a calendar cycle, reinforcing the “year” connection.
3. Third Clue – “Leap”
Leap refers to a jump or bound, but in a time context, it points to “leap year” — the extra day added every four years to keep our calendar accurate.
4. Fourth Clue – “Fiscal”
The term Fiscal relates to government or organizational finances. “Fiscal year” is a financial reporting period that may differ from the calendar year.
5. Final Clue – “Calendar”
Finally, Calendar completes the set. A “calendar year” is the standard January-to-December yearly cycle.
