Pinnacle

noun/pin-uh-kuhl/

Meaning

the most successful point; the culmination.

In context

Winning the award was the pinnacle of her career.

Remember it

A PIN has a tiny sharp point — the pinnacle is the sharp top point, your highest moment.

Use it well

Use with 'of': the pinnacle of her career, of success — reserve it for peaks of achievement, not small wins.
