Post if you want in, ideally 8 people but the normal game - guess your stuff and ideally go fast bolding away a guess at a time(Snapguess + guess + etc). Spirit of the game is to just bold away at what you think, keep 0-1 max backup and go quick.

I’m red, will take a look in a bit.


Elizabeth - 4


Cleopatra - Elizabeth is the name of a couple of Queens, and Cleopatra was a Queen
Court - Queens have a court?
Cricket - British thing, British queen
Mother - I believe Elizabeth was the name of the Elizabeth II's mother, the Queen Mother, and of course Elizabeth II was the mother of Charles III

I really don't see anything else I *like* on that list. And I feel like that's a pretty specific list of words to hit with a clue like that.


The clue isn't queen tho, so there's gotta be more to it than that.

Mother - Elizabeth was queen mother
Cleopatra - Elizabeth Taylor played Cleo
Joan of Arc - another female name? I know ibd likes these sorts of connections

Really unsure after that, but I feel pretty good about those 3. Genius???


The way I see it, there are other clues that get you to Cleopatra, Court, and Mother. But an *English* clue gets you Cricket.

I could be missing something stone obvious but this is what I see.


Queen gets all those words way easier. Elizabeth does not necessarily have to be just for Queen Elizabeth, and almost certainly isn't.

I would say he is specifically avoiding court/cricket with this clue.


Isn't that completely the opposite? Queen is generic, Elizabeth is specific?


Huh? You are literally treating the clue as if it is queen.

Elizabeth could be anybody.


I'm certainly open to it being another Elizabeth.

Who else could it be? If it's another reference it's over my head.


Liz Taylor played Cleo in the movie, but we would've guessed thay anyway.

I like Joan of Arc because ibd likes to make first name connections like that.

I don't know who else it would be, but there are probably some geniuses with that name, and people tend to guess it when a person is clued so he probably didn't overlook that word.


I think an actual connection is worth more than a speculative guess. I'll buy a first name connection, though.

DZ going to chime in?


I thought I was on the other team


Cleopatra
Joan of Arc

both women....

Elizabeth = queen mothers name im pretty sure?


So I'd go:

Cleopatra
Joan Of Arc
Mother

as top 3


I'd buy that.


Literally 0 idea on 4


What do you think of Court?


its fine as a 4th

I guess with queen you are unlikely to go Joan Of Arc

any 4th is tough but Court is as good as any


Cleo/Joan/mother/court

Good with you d1ab?


Cleo
Mother
Joan of Arc

I don't really get court?


Cleopatra
Mother
Joan of Arc
