Full walkthrough
The first clue, "Crushing ice", 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, "Removing nails", is where the answer search starts to tighten. A strong answer must connect both "Crushing ice" and "Removing nails" in a repeatable way, not just through a vague theme.
The third clue, "Tenderizing meat", creates the pivot. By now, "Different ways to use a hammer (besides the most common one)" should begin to explain the clue set as a shared word, category, or phrase pattern instead of a lucky overlap.
The fourth clue, "Shaping metal (over an anvil)", and the final clue, "Chiseling stone (hit with this)", 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, Crushing ice, Removing nails, Tenderizing meat, Shaping metal (over an anvil), and Chiseling stone (hit with this) all point back to "Different ways to use a hammer (besides the most common one)". That is why "Different ways to use a hammer (besides the most common one)" is the best fit for LinkedIn Pinpoint #844.
"Different ways to use a hammer (besides the most common one)" fits because it can explain Crushing ice, Removing nails, Tenderizing meat, Shaping metal (over an anvil), and Chiseling stone (hit with this) under one answer.
