LinkedIn Pinpoint 856 Answer  September 3, 2026 Make, Wrong, Right of, Milky,

LinkedIn’s Pinpoint #856 for September 3, 2026 challenges players to find the hidden connection between five seemingly unrelated clues. At first glance, the clues refer to completely different ideas, including making room, getting directions wrong, traffic rules, astronomy, and deliberately ignoring something.

However, the clues all become much easier to understand once you identify the missing word. Each one can be combined with “way” to create a familiar word, phrase, or expression.

Here are the clues revealed in today’s puzzle

• Make
• Wrong
• Right of
• Milky
• Look the other
• Words that come before “way”!

The common answer is WAY.

Here’s how each clue connects to the answer:

Make

Make way is a common expression meaning to move aside or clear a path so that someone or something can pass.

For example, someone might say “Make way!” when a person needs others to move out of the path. The phrase can also be used more generally to describe creating space for something new.

Make + way = Make way

The expression can be used both literally and figuratively. Someone might make way for another person by stepping aside, or a new development might “make way” for changes in an organization.

Wrong

Wrong way describes traveling or moving in an incorrect direction.

If someone is driving down a road in the opposite direction from where they need to go, they may realize that they are going the wrong way. The phrase can also be used figuratively when someone is taking an incorrect approach to a problem.

Wrong + way = Wrong way

This is one of the most straightforward clues because “wrong way” is an everyday expression.

Right of

Right of way is a particularly familiar phrase, especially when talking about driving and traffic laws.

The right of way refers to who has priority to proceed in a particular situation. For example, at an intersection, one vehicle may have the right of way over another. The expression can also refer to a legal right to pass through or use a particular route or piece of land.

Right of + way = Right of way

This clue is slightly more distinctive than “wrong” because “right of” strongly points toward the phrase “right of way.”

Milky

Milky Way is the name of the galaxy that contains Earth, the Solar System, and billions of other stars.

When you look at a dark night sky away from significant light pollution, the Milky Way can appear as a broad, cloudy band of light stretching across the sky. The name comes from its pale, milky appearance.

Milky + Way = Milky Way

Unlike several of the other clues, this one creates a proper name rather than an ordinary expression. It is also a useful clue because the phrase is extremely recognizable.

Look the other

Look the other way is an expression meaning to deliberately ignore something or pretend not to notice it.

For example, if someone knows that something inappropriate is happening but chooses not to intervene, they might be described as looking the other way.

Look the other + way = Look the other way

The phrase can be used literally when someone turns their gaze in another direction, but it is especially common as an idiom for ignoring something intentionally.
