LinkedIn has daily games, and they’re actually great
There’s a bunch of new daily games in town. LinkedIn has joined the, well, game by offering up four games in their app and online. The games — Pinpoint, Crossclimb, Tango and Queens — range from word puzzles to logic games, resetting every day and tracking your completion times and streaks.
Pinpoint asks the player to deduce an overarching topic by revealing one word at a time. The first word offered up is the most generic, with the fifth and final word being pretty obvious.
In Crossclimb, you’re given clues to figure out four or five letter words. When you’ve guessed all the words, they’ll form a “ladder” meaning you change one letter to get to the next word, another letter to get to the next and so on. Once you rearrange them in the correct order, they will unlock the first and last words to solve.
Tango asks you to complete a puzzle using just sun and moon symbols, but there are rules. You have to have three moons and three suns in each row and column, and you cannot have more than two of any symbol in a row. Sometimes, squares will also have an “x” or “=” between them, meaning the adjoining square has to be opposite or the same, respectively.
Last, but not least, is Queens. You start with a blank grid that has multiple colored shapes laid out. The goal is to put a crown in each row, column, and color. Sounds easy in theory, but it takes some thinking to make it all work.
