LinkedIn’s Pinpoint puzzle for March 14, 2026 (#683) follows a familiar word-linking pattern. The clue at the bottom makes the category clear: these are all words that come after “false.”
Here are the answers arranged exactly as shown in the puzzle:
Start
Positive
Alarm
Tooth
Advertising (don’t believe it!)
Words that come after “false”!
Each clue forms a common phrase when placed after the word false. Here is how each one works.
Start
This becomes false start, a term used when a race, game, or attempt begins incorrectly and must be restarted. It is especially common in sports.
Positive
Together, this forms false positive, a result that wrongly indicates something is present or true when it actually is not. This phrase is often used in medical testing, security systems, and software detection.
Alarm
This creates false alarm, which happens when a warning is triggered by mistake even though no actual danger exists.
Tooth
Add “false” and it becomes false tooth, a replacement tooth such as a denture tooth or artificial tooth used when a natural one is missing.
Advertising (don’t believe it!)
This clue points to false advertising, which means promotional claims that are misleading or untrue. The note in parentheses helps point directly to that meaning.
Words that come after “false”!
The final line gives the category. Every listed word can follow false to make a familiar phrase.
Today’s Pinpoint puzzle is a neat example of how simple everyday words can form a clear and satisfying pattern once the shared first word is identified.
