Advice, Gossip, Steering, Spinal, Ionic (in Greek architecture): clue-by-clue explanation
Clue 1: Advice
"Advice" is the opening clue, and it is deliberately broad — on its own it could support several different theories. The efficient move is to park two or three candidate answers instead of committing.
Clue 2: Gossip
"Gossip" is the filter clue: any theory that survived "Advice" now has to explain "Gossip" as well. Most wrong guesses die here, which is exactly what the clue is for.
Clue 3: Steering
"Steering" is usually where the puzzle tips over. If a single idea now explains Advice, Gossip and Steering at once, you are almost certainly on the right track — that is the shape of a real Pinpoint answer.
Clue 4: Spinal
"Spinal" acts as confirmation. It should feel unsurprising under the answer "Types of columns!" — if it forces a stretch, revisit the earlier clues before locking in.
Clue 5: Ionic (in Greek architecture)
"Ionic (in Greek architecture)" is the lock. Read backwards under the answer it should feel inevitable: Advice, Gossip, Steering, Spinal, Ionic (in Greek architecture) all sit naturally inside "Types of columns!".
