Lessons Learned from Pinpoint #536

  1. 1

    Consider wordplay and idioms

    Sometimes Pinpoint isn't just about finding words that combine, but understanding idiomatic expressions. In this puzzle, knowing the common phrase "raise eyebrows" helped steer towards the correct answer.

  2. 2

    Don't get tunnel vision after the first clue

    It's easy to latch onto the first word association that comes to mind, but force yourself to consider alternatives. I was so confident with ISSUES that I ignored the other clues for too long.

  3. 3

    Look for verbs that connect seemingly disparate nouns

    The clues seemed unrelated at first, but finding a verb that could logically link them was key. Thinking about what you can *do* with concerns, donations, children, eyebrows, and a voice all pointed to RAISE.

  4. 4

    Say it out loud

    Sometimes, just vocalizing the potential connections can help. Saying "Raise concerns," "Raise donations," etc., can solidify the pattern and lead to the solution.

FAQ

Why isn't ISSUES the answer?

Tied clue: Concerns

While "concerns" can certainly be issues, it doesn't create common phrases with the other clues. "Raise issues" isn't as strong or common as "raise concerns," and it definitely doesn't fit with children, eyebrows, or voice.

What does "Raise eyebrows" mean?

"Raise eyebrows" is an idiom that means to cause surprise, disapproval, or skepticism. It's a common expression, and recognizing it is key to solving this Pinpoint.

How does 'Voice' connect to 'Raise'?

The connection is the phrase "raise your voice," which means to speak louder, often in anger or excitement. It's a direct and common way to use the word 'voice' with 'raise'.
