I've read the rules but I won't be able to look at this properly until tomorrow.

Dollar -> Jail seem obvious.
London seems a reasonable third. Thief could also be seen as related to the theme.

Dragons can be snake-like, I think that qualifies as a passing resemblance.

I'm pretty lost with this.
I'm pretty sure Slither means don't pick Snake - I think rules-wise it has to mean that there are no red words connected to Slither.

Yeah I really don't know about this one. There are a bunch that you could connect to music but I don't know enough to prefer any over the others.
I think Antarctica is a decent contender for the 5th Claim, due to the business around claiming land there.

Flag -> Settle seems unanimous.
In case it's not obvious, I'm thinking of Mine as in "It's mine!" rather than claiming a mine.

Wow, a fiver!
Mine, Settle and Flag seem likely.
Geographical locations can be claimed, such as the South and Antarctica. I guess you could claim a spot on the Grass or in the Snow, but that seems like a bit more of a stretch.
Churches probably make claims, or you can claim something from a Roof (top).
I guess you can also claim your Mail, or claim a Dollar prize.

Well done team!
The intended fourth for Moria was Candle. I hadn't considered Changed and I like the argument for it, but I think I still prefer Candle; it seems like a simpler connection - Moria is dark and that's what candles are for. All you had to know about Moria is that it's a dark Dwarf cave under a snowy mountain range. If I was to clue Moria for Change (with a different group), I would feel uneasy about the likelihood of them getting it. That Change was red was a stroke of luck, but it seems that flipping neutral would not have changed the result. Although I guess it's lucky that the unplanned 2 of Tuxedo/Candle was easy to clue.
I wasn't too worried about King, but was hoping that Army would flip early enough for the Moria clue.
For Outstanding, I knew there were other contenders, but it seemed like a safe 2 as long as someone knew the Field phrase, particularly the scarecrow joke. I was actually leaning towards Tuxedo as a third ("you look outstanding", and I was imagining a groom "standing" like a scarecrow), but I wasn't sure to what extent that was because I knew it was red, and including it seemed like an unnecessary risk given that I already had a plan for it.
The Tuxedo/Change clue initially was going to be Dressed, but I was a little concerned about Glove - it seemed plausible that you would see two types of clothing and assume it was them without considering "get changed" as a synonym for "get dressed", so I probably would have ended up going for Alteration, which seems safe enough.
