LinkedIn Pinpoint 607 Clues
December 28, 2025
Today’s LinkedIn Pinpoint was a fascinating exercise in geographic pattern recognition. It’s one of those puzzles that starts out feeling incredibly broad but narrows down into a very specific linguistic category once you see the full picture. Let’s break down the clues and the logic used to bridge the gap between these seemingly random names and the final answer.
The Solve: A Tale of Wrong Turns
When I first saw the clue "Thomas," my mind went in a dozen different directions. I thought about famous people named Thomas, like Thomas Edison, or perhaps even the "Doubting Thomas" from history. It was way too early to make a definitive guess, but I had a small hunch that it might be related to islands or geography since St. Thomas is such a popular travel destination.
Then the second clue, "Louis," popped up. Now I had two names that are very common but also share a major geographic connection. I immediately thought of St. Louis, Missouri. At this point, I suspected the connection was the word "Saint," but I wasn't 100% sure if the puzzle wanted "Saints" or "Names of Cities." I held off on submitting because Pinpoint can be tricky with its phrasing.
The third clue, "John's," was the "aha!" moment. The use of the possessive apostrophe is very specific. While there are many "St. Johns" (no apostrophe) or "St. John" locations, "St. John's" is the specific spelling for the cities in Canada and the Caribbean. This confirmed that we weren't just looking for names, but specifically the words that follow the "Saint" or "St." prefix in place names.
By the time "Kitts and Nevis" appeared as the fourth clue, the pattern was undeniable. You can't really talk about Kitts and Nevis without the "Saint" in front of it in a formal context. It solidified that the common thread was the prefix.
The final clue, "Petersburg," was just the icing on the cake. Whether you are thinking of the historic Russian city or the sunny Florida destination, the name is always preceded by "St." I knew then that the answer had to be the specific words that come after that prefix in various global locations.
Clue Analysis
Thomas
This is a classic biblical and common first name, but in a geographic context, it refers to one of the main islands of the U.S. Virgin Islands, known as St. Thomas.
Louis
A name of French origin frequently associated with royalty; in geography, it most famously refers to the major city in Missouri, St. Louis.
John's
This is the possessive form of the name John, which is used specifically for the capital of Antigua and Barbuda, as well as the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada (St. John's).
Kitts and Nevis
This refers to a dual-island sovereign country located in the West Indies, officially known as the Federation of Saint Christopher and Nevis, or more commonly, Saint Kitts and Nevis.
Petersburg (in either Russia or Florida)
This refers to a major port city on the Baltic Sea in Russia or a popular city in the Tampa Bay area of Florida, both of which are named St. Petersburg.
Lessons Learned
One of the biggest takeaways from this puzzle is to pay close attention to punctuation. The apostrophe in "John's" was a massive hint. In Pinpoint, every character matters, and that possessive form narrowed the possibilities from "people named John" to "specific geographic locations."
Another lesson is to think globally. The clues jumped from the Caribbean (Thomas) to the American Midwest (Louis) to Russia (Petersburg). When you see a list of names that seem disconnected, try to find a common title or prefix that could apply to all of them across different continents.
Finally, don't rush your first guess. It would have been easy to guess "Male Names" after the first two clues, but that would have wasted a turn. Waiting for that third or fourth clue often reveals a linguistic pattern (like a shared prefix) that isn't obvious at the very start.
Expert Q&A
Why was "John's" written with an apostrophe while the others were not?
This is because the specific geographic locations—St. John’s, Newfoundland, and St. John’s, Antigua—officially use the possessive form. Other places, like St. John in the Virgin Islands, do not. The puzzle included the apostrophe to point solvers toward these specific place names.
Are all the names in this puzzle based on religious saints?
While the prefix "Saint" is used, the locations themselves aren't always named directly after the religious figure in the same way. For example, St. Kitts is a shortened version of St. Christopher, and St. Louis, Missouri, was named after King Louis IX of France, who was indeed a saint, but the clue focuses on the city name rather than the person.
Why did the clue for Petersburg mention both Russia and Florida?
This was likely to ensure the solver didn't get bogged down in the history of one specific country. By showing that the name "St. Petersburg" exists in two very different parts of the world, the puzzle emphasizes that the "St." prefix is the universal link.
Could the answer have simply been "Saints"?
While "Saints" is the root of the connection, LinkedIn Pinpoint usually looks for the specific relationship between the words. Since the clues were the "words after" the prefix in place names, the more descriptive answer about their role in geography is the
