Cufflinks maybe?

Maybe, but keep in mind we had 5 left and you don't know whether the clue is for 2 or 3.

yeah the 1 clue was the safe way to play it since no easy way to link lawyer+button without bringing in doubt on other words

it COULD have also meant the 2nd word on list was bad, so he only wanted you to guess button+top of list, but then on last round when he went UNLIMITED it had to be lawyer+rest of list until bottles

if 2nd word had been bad, then on last round he would have clued differently

and if 2nd word had been neutral, he would have clued button unlimited to get you to hit the 2nd word neutral blocker so it'd be unblocked for the last clue

either scenario, you did it right guessing button+top of list and then guessing lawyer+rest of list

I’m not understanding the fastener - 1 clue instead of fastener - unlimited. If Opera was neutral, and last on our list, why limit us? We still close it out with attorney - 1 and there’s no agonizing over the decision.

What am I missing?

Ah I missed that opera was neutral

Yeah, fastener unlimited would have also worked

Pro for 1 clue:
Less words revealed may make it tougher for us

Con for 1 clue: may confuse y’all or you may change ordering after the clue, making the attorney unlimited clue not available

The capital there is interesting. Oh, I get it now... Rice.

Bermuda
Boil
Chick
Columbus
Dressing
Driver
Jail
Lumberjack
Mummy - I would dispute whether Mummy's are common in Fantasy stories vs horror, but that's just me nitpicking. Strong candidate, imo
Mustard
Note
Pad
Pin
Pupil - Harry Potter was a pupil
Purse
Ram
Rice - Anne Rice wrote Interview with a Vampire, and you could call that fantasy. I think it's strong
Shed
Step
Storm
Tea
Toast
Tornado
Wizard - Obvious imo
Worm - There's a fantasy series with a character named worm. Maybe it was harry potter? I don't think this is it

I'd go with:

Wizard
rice
Mummy
pass
pupil
