Full walkthrough
The first clue, "Gouda", opens the puzzle with a deliberately wide field. In LinkedIn Pinpoint, that first reveal is rarely enough by itself, so the smart move is to test a few possible links without overcommitting.
The second clue, "Frankfurters", is where the answer search starts to tighten. A strong answer must connect both "Gouda" and "Frankfurters" in a repeatable way, not just through a vague theme.
The third clue, "Peking Duck", creates the pivot. By now, "Foods named for cities" should begin to explain the clue set as a shared word, category, or phrase pattern instead of a lucky overlap.
The fourth clue, "Brussels Sprouts", and the final clue, "New York Cheesecake", finish the check. If the same answer still works after those extra reveals, the solution is much stronger than an early one-clue guess.
Read together, Gouda, Frankfurters, Peking Duck, Brussels Sprouts, and New York Cheesecake all point back to "Foods named for cities". That is why "Foods named for cities" is the best fit for LinkedIn Pinpoint #778.
"Foods named for cities" fits because it can explain Gouda, Frankfurters, Peking Duck, Brussels Sprouts, and New York Cheesecake under one answer. The clue set is not asking for five separate facts; it is asking for the common connection that survives each reveal in the LinkedIn Pinpoint sequence.
