Pinpoint #918 Answer
CategoryFictional sea captains
Clues: Haddock, Sparrow, Hook, Nemo, Ahab (from Moby-Dick). Category: Fictional sea captains.
How to Solve Pinpoint #918
The Pinpoint 918 answer is fictional sea captains.
- Haddock: Captain Haddock from The Adventures of Tintin.
- Sparrow: Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean.
- Hook: Captain Hook from Peter Pan.
- Nemo: Captain Nemo, associated with the submarine Nautilus in Jules Verne’s stories.
- Ahab: Captain Ahab, the whaling captain in Moby-Dick.
Haddock and Sparrow can initially suggest a fish and a bird. Hook could also suggest fishing equipment. Read together with Nemo and Ahab, however, the names point to imaginary captains from comics, films and literature.
The shared title is Captain, and the category describes the characters themselves. Nemo here refers to Captain Nemo rather than the animated fish. All five clues fit the same character-based connection without changing their order or adding another theme.
