Sea, Mountain, African, Cowardly, March Comes In Like A: clue-by-clue explanation
Clue 1: Sea
"Sea" 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: Mountain
"Mountain" is the filter clue: any theory that survived "Sea" now has to explain "Mountain" as well. Most wrong guesses die here, which is exactly what the clue is for.
Clue 3: African
"African" is usually where the puzzle tips over. If a single idea now explains Sea, Mountain and African at once, you are almost certainly on the right track — that is the shape of a real Pinpoint answer.

"Cowardly" acts as confirmation. It should feel unsurprising under the answer "Words that come before "lion"" — if it forces a stretch, revisit the earlier clues before locking in.
Clue 5: March Comes In Like A
