Drill, Marmoset, Capuchin, Macaque, Baboon: clue-by-clue explanation

Clue 1: Drill

"Drill" is the opening clue, and it is deliberately broad — on its own it could support several different theories. The efficient move is to park two or three candidate answers instead of committing.

Clue 2: Marmoset

"Marmoset" is the filter clue: any theory that survived "Drill" now has to explain "Marmoset" as well. Most wrong guesses die here, which is exactly what the clue is for.

Clue 3: Capuchin

"Capuchin" is usually where the puzzle tips over. If a single idea now explains Drill, Marmoset and Capuchin at once, you are almost certainly on the right track — that is the shape of a real Pinpoint answer.

Clue 4: Macaque

"Macaque" acts as confirmation. It should feel unsurprising under the answer "Types of monkey" — if it forces a stretch, revisit the earlier clues before locking in.

Clue 5: Baboon

"Baboon" is the lock. Read backwards under the answer it should feel inevitable: Drill, Marmoset, Capuchin, Macaque, Baboon all sit naturally inside "Types of monkey".
