LinkedIn’s Pinpoint #849 for August 27, 2026 challenges players to discover the connection between five different clues. The puzzle brings together examples from the animal world, nature, and everyday objects, requiring players to identify the shared feature that links them all together.
Each clue refers to something that can change colors. Here’s how they connect:
Octopuses
Octopuses can change their skin color and patterns using specialized cells called chromatophores. They use this ability for camouflage, communication, and defense.
Arctic hares (twice a year)
Arctic hares change their fur color seasonally. Their coats become white during snowy months for camouflage and shift to darker colors during warmer seasons.
Mood rings
Mood rings change color based on temperature changes, which are often associated with the wearer’s emotional state. The stone reacts to body heat to display different colors.
Leaves (in autumn)
Leaves change color during autumn as chlorophyll breaks down, revealing yellow, orange, and red pigments that were hidden during the growing season.
Chameleons
Chameleons are famous for changing their skin colors. They use this ability for communication, temperature regulation, and blending into their surroundings.
Things that change colors!
The final clue confirms the category: all the answers are examples of things that change colors.
