Today’s Pinpoint puzzle lines up five words that span athletics, winter sports, and extreme activities: High, Broad, Ski, Parachute, and Bungee. At first glance, they might point to sports, heights, or adventure, but none of those categories cleanly captures all five. The real connection emerges when you add the same word after each clue, revealing a pattern that links track and field, skiing, and extreme sports under one shared category.
Many solvers will first chase surface-level themes such as colours, locations, or everyday objects. The breakthrough usually comes from testing a single word or short phrase after every clue. When you put “Types of jumps” against High, Broad, Ski, Parachute, Bungee, the phrasing stays natural for each clue, which is a strong sign that you have the right answer. Competing themes typically fail on at least one clue, so the connector stands out as the only explanation that fits the full set.
Track and field events
High jump and broad jump both belong to track and field, so it is natural to assume the board is about athletics. However, ski jump is a winter sport, and parachute jump and bungee jump are extreme activities, not track events, so the theme breaks on three of the five clues.
Winter sports
Ski jump points hard toward winter sports, but high jump and broad jump are summer track events, and parachute jump and bungee jump are not seasonal sports at all. Because three clues never fit a winter sports frame, this theme cannot be the final answer.
Extreme sports or adventure activities
Parachute jump and bungee jump both feel like extreme sports, so it is tempting to bundle everything under adventure activities. High jump and broad jump, however, are standard Olympic events, not extreme sports, and ski jump is a competitive winter sport, not necessarily extreme. Only the shared word "jump" covers every clue.
| Word | Origin | In Context (Usage) | Meaning & Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| High | — | “High jump” | A track and field event where athletes leap over a horizontal bar, matching the connector. |
| Broad | — | “Broad jump” | Also known as long jump, a track and field event where athletes leap for distance, keeping the same connector. |
| Ski | — | “Ski jump” | A winter sport where skiers launch off a ramp and leap through the air, still using the "jump" phrase. |
| Parachute | — | “Parachute jump” | A skydiving activity where you leap from an aircraft and deploy a parachute, maintaining the connector. |
| Bungee | — | “Bungee jump” | An extreme sport where you leap from a height with an elastic cord attached, the most common "jump" phrase in this set. |
Test one word after all clues
When clue words feel like they could start common phrases, try adding the same word after each one before chasing broad categories. If a single word creates five natural-sounding expressions, you are probably close to the right connector.
Drop partial themes quickly
Track and field, winter sports, and extreme activities each explain two or three clues here, but not all five. Training yourself to abandon any idea as soon as it breaks on multiple entries will keep you from overfitting half-right stories.
Say potential phrases out loud
High jump, broad jump, ski jump, parachute jump, bungee jump all feel fluent when spoken. Saying phrases aloud is a powerful way to tell the difference between a real pattern and a forced guess.
Look for the shared word, not the category
When clues span different categories (like athletics, winter sports, and extreme activities), the connector is often the shared word that links them, not a single category that tries to force them together.
All of the clues point toward the idea “Types of jumps”. Each clue combines naturally with this connector while competing themes break on at least one clue.
When you feel locked onto a theme that explains only two or three clues, deliberately test how it fits each clue out loud. If the wording sounds awkward or forced, treat that theme as a partial idea and keep searching for something more precise.
