When I first saw the word "Dial," my mind immediately went to mechanical objects. I thought about clocks, old rotary phones, or maybe even a compass. At this stage, the puzzle is wide open. I was guessing things like "Time" or "Numbers," but those felt a bit too generic for a Pinpoint game. I didn't have enough to go on, so I took a shot at "Watch," thinking of a watch dial, but it wasn't the right fit.

Then came the second clue: "Screen." Now things started to get interesting. I had "Dial" and "Screen." My first thought was "Digital" or "Electronics." You have a screen on a phone and you dial a number. But "Dial" doesn't quite fit "Screen" in a compound word sense. I tried to think of what could come before or after both. "Touch" screen? "Touch" dial? No, that didn't feel right either.

The third clue, "Glasses," was the real game-changer. I looked at the trio: Dial, Screen, and Glasses. I asked myself, "What one word connects all of these?" I tried "Blue" (Blue light glasses, blue screen), but "Blue dial" isn't a common phrase. Then it hit me: "Sun." Sundial? Yes, an ancient timekeeper. Sunscreen? Yes, something we use at the beach. Sunglasses? Absolutely.

Even though I felt confident, I waited for the fourth clue, "Burn," just to be sure. "Sunburn" is such a common term that it practically confirmed the "Sun" theme. It fit perfectly with the previous clues. It’s that painful red skin you get after too much time at the beach—the same place you'd use your sunscreen and sunglasses.

By the time "Flower" appeared as the fifth clue, it was a total victory lap. "Sunflower" is one of the most recognizable flowers in the world. At this point, there was no doubt left. All five clues—Dial, Screen, Glasses, Burn, and Flower—perfectly followed the word "Sun." The logic was solid, the connections were clear, and the puzzle was solved.
