Bridge - nah
Card - card and cake on bday; stretchy but maybe
Casino - nah
Chocolate - lock of the week

Dinosaur - kid’s bday cake maybe; backup for the backups
Drop - please don’t drop your cake; nah
Face - stuff your face with cake; prolly top 7
Fish - sure
Kangaroo - nah
Kid - they like cake almost as much as me; sure
Olympus - nah
Parachute - nah
Pool - pool party is nothing without cake; but a backup
School - prolly top 7
Shop - a lock
Staff - not bad; prolly top 7
Tie - nah
Washer - nah
Web - nah

Locks:
Chocolate
Shop
Kid
Fish

Prolly top 7:
Face
School
Staff

Backups to the backup:
Card
Dinosaur
Pool

I dont get the staff connection, how does that relate to cake?

Bakery staff, staff that makes the cake

We can move it down a little if you want but I don’t know what replaces it

I like card more with the birthday connection but I'm aware that I'm always wrong in this game lol

Bump

bump

card is a 2 step connection; I know cake and card are related pretty often so I like it, but gonna do staff first as 'safer' guess

museum - 4

All seem pretty good

Would probably go with wind next (as top of the list, not for museum).

I could be talked into fish for museum, but would prefer we let the blue team guess that for us.

What am I missing?

We can’t win, so no use pushing it.

Block - 1st electricity backup
Bridge - 2nd electricity backup
Card
Casino
Cloak - Could this be part of some historical clothing in a museum?
Dinosaur - number 1 museum guess
Drop
Face - very weak museum connection for venetian or Egyptian masks
Fish - I don't really see it. Certainly not any more than kangaroo anyway. Also multiple animals on the list surely leads to a different clue.
Kangaroo - see above
Olympus - Could Greek gods possibly be in museums or is it just factual stuff in there? I don't think this is a museum word.
Parachute
Pool
School - I see the connection, but it should be word 3 or 4 for me.
Staff - yeah probably. Word 2.
Tie
Washer
Web
Wind - 4th on electricity list.

That's my first glance opinions.

What does the clue of 4 mean as far as our backups go?

Wind was next

Unless I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying, that should be our next electricity guess

Agreed, but I'm wondering if the 4 clue tells us anything about the words beyond that (there's another electricity word).

Does 4 tell us nothing beyond wind, that the Bridge is wrong/right/no info on this?

It probably doesn’t tell us much about our list, because clueing unlimited when you have a word that you want to get four words with would be tough. We would’ve just ended up guessing dinosaur and staff and then running the list.

But also because we’ve only been clued eight words and can’t win this turn (best we can do is autopass with 7/9), I’m more inclined to guess what we’re confident in here and then pass.

Dinosaur
Staff
School
Wind
Pass

Block
Bridge (if one of wind/block is wrong)
Fish
Olympus
Cloak

imo

Wind could go before school, but we don’t actually have more information on wind than we had last turn. It was always next on our list, so eb can’t clue us off of it unless he clues 0. I think school is a good one for museum given what’s on the board. Lots of school trips to museums and museums also have schools/training.

What's with fish but no kangaroo? Both would be in the natural history museum, but neither jump out at me as a strong choice.

If we're saying that Dinosaur, School, staff and fish, wouldn't we be more likely to look at biologist or biology or something?

I think from our second list I'd rather Cloak be ahead of all the other museum nonsense, otherwise I'm happy with the go list.

There are museums for fish (aquariums), but not museums for kangaroos.

How would biology or biologist hit fish better than kangaroo?

I am not understanding cloak at all.

We probably think of museums differently. I imagine a museum containing loads of old things from history.

Dinosaurs, some Cloak that an old king/emporer wore (weak).

The only time I'm imagining a fish in a museum is from the natural history section and this section in my kind would be just as likely to have a kangaroo in ir. Neither of these things really go in a museum for me. I certainly don't imagine an aquarium as a museum, it's an aquarium. This could all just be English/American stuff I'm not overly familiar with. Since the clue came from an American's perspective I'll go with your thoughts over mine.

You bold it up in whichever order you think is best.

I mean, we agree on what to bold, right? The fish discussion is about our list after passing.

I don’t think of an aquarium as a museum either, but it’s the best connection I can think of with the remaining words. I also don’t care that much about the list because some are also on blue’s list and, if our four are right, we probably have a decent chance of getting our final three next turn.
