About Pinpoint #849
- Pinpoint #849 gives 5 clue words: Octopuses, Arctic hares (twice a year), Mood rings, Leaves (in autumn), Chameleons.
- The answer is the category that links all of them.
- Of the five clues, two are single words and three are multi-word phrases; the longest is clue 2, "Arctic hares (twice a year)", at five words.
- Clues 2 and 4 add a note in parentheses.
- Three clues end in -s, so weigh a verb reading alongside the plural noun.
- The note "(twice a year)" in clue 2 tells you which sense is meant, so settle that reading first and test it against the other clues.
