Short, Flat, Sweet, Corn, Ginger (as in holiday houses): clue-by-clue explanation
Clue 1: Short
"Short" 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: Flat
"Flat" is the filter clue: any theory that survived "Short" now has to explain "Flat" as well. Most wrong guesses die here, which is exactly what the clue is for.
Clue 3: Sweet
"Sweet" is usually where the puzzle tips over. If a single idea now explains Short, Flat and Sweet at once, you are almost certainly on the right track — that is the shape of a real Pinpoint answer.

"Corn" acts as confirmation. It should feel unsurprising under the answer "Prefixes for "bread"" — if it forces a stretch, revisit the earlier clues before locking in.
Clue 5: Ginger (as in holiday houses)
