3v3 Codenames

I've never heard of The Food Lab, but I wouldn't have unless they mentioned it on The Bear 😀

I would quibble a bit with the order at the bottom of the list you posted, but I don't think I feel strongly enough to argue it. If the food lab is truly well known and I'm just under a rock, then I'd put that ahead of ground

I’m okay with lab going lower, I just wanted to call it out. I think that’s easily missable, and kind of feel the same about ground which is why I put them both next to each other as last.

So:

Cook
Knife
Berry
Teacher
Rabbit
Ground
Pass

Lab

Copper
Heart
Snow

?

I definitely think teacher has to be up there, otherwise why culinary instead of chef or kitchen? Just seems to me like culinary is cueing the training aspect.

Works for me

Cook
Knife
Berry
Teacher
Rabbit
Ground
Pass

Lab
Copper
Heart
Snow

Ground is neutral

Solid result

I'm afk til Sunday night fyi

Heart
Tick
Switch

um

Copper?
Tube?

Really not sure on the last two.

Those three for sure. I did like copper, but feel like they're going to have to resolve that for culinary.

Some options I see

Engine
Tube
Boom
Copper

Is it dumb I see boom for heart attack?

No, I don't think so. That and the idea of a heartbeat being a sort of 'boom'.

What do you think about Engine? I'm finding it hard to get away from, but am interested if you have a case either way

Then I'm inclined:

Heart
Tick
Switch
Boom
Tube/Engine

Tube since a breathing tube is another piece of medical equipment
Engine is more nebulous, but my mind goes to pace*setters*, and that the heart is the engine of the body

Bump

Heart
Tick

Blue x2

How about

Switch
Tube
Boom

?

and then

Pass
Engine

?

switch
tube
boom
pass
engine

Christmas - 2

I'm guessing that puts Lab on our list, so good on you for being 6/6 on the last clue, I think.

For Christmas, I'd put Snow & Bow, followed by Kid and Card. I don't have a great deal of confidence in that order

Yeah n-1, so lab will be neutral at worst.

Card is probably first for me.

If that’s true, then bow probably isn’t ours because Nich almost certainly would have clued gift.

Card + bow = gift
Card + kid = birthday
Snow + kid = angel/cherub
Snow + bow = rain
Kid + bow = pigtails

I think I’m on card/snow.
