Arctic hare
An Arctic hare is a hare adapted to Arctic tundra. In many populations, its coat is white in winter and becomes gray-brown in summer, helping it blend into the seasonal landscape.
Why now
“Arctic hares (twice a year)” appeared as a clue in LinkedIn Pinpoint #849 on August 27, 2026. The puzzle connected things that change colors.
The connection
Why here
The clue refers to the Arctic hare's seasonal coat change. A white winter coat provides camouflage in snow, while many populations develop a darker gray-brown summer coat as the landscape changes.
More context
Context
Why does the clue say “twice a year”?
It points to two seasonal transitions: into the winter coat and back into the summer coat. The wording describes the change cycle; it does not mean every Arctic hare population develops exactly the same colors.
