Regular Run of the Mill NO LIST Codenames!

I think penguin has column? Or line? So not penguin

Row + tick = excel; testsheet or something like that?

Marking schemes + maths

Berlin isn't terrible

But wouldnt you do wall? Or bricks?

They have 2 valentine clues left too

We had wall as one of our clues

If we had

France
Berlin
Wall

Wouldn't he have done Germany- 3 to start? Or am I being tok generous

Should we just bold row to start? I don't wanna agonise over this if that's wrong.

Yh im game

Cu,z then we can e open about valentine

row

Red

Berlin - there are several better clues for this and seems like he's been avoiding it
Penguin - I guess this kinda works at a stretch, but this is a very weird clue for it
Queen - this should be blue and this is just chess or...anything but this
Screen - nah
Stick - nah
Stream - nah
String - I don't think so?
Tick - better clues for this too but here we are

So I guess I'm down to tick or penguin even though they both make little sense to me. Tick>>>penguin tho.

Hmm

Valentine is Queen & ....screen?

No idea but I don't think it matters much. Eb was essentially forced into a 5-clue so it could be almost anything. I've always thought queen was theirs from first turn tho because of chess.

Eliminating:
Queen - no, chess etc
Screen - no, Excel etc
Stream - no, canoe etc
String - no, orchestra, crochet, code, numbers, etc
Berlin - no, wall, didn’t go Germany, didn’t use city in China, etc

Leaves us two that are tough to combine with row:

Penguin
Stick

And then:

Tick - when getting organized, may use a checklist and tick off the boxes; but why not just clue checklist or todos or similar?

Finally, why organized and not organize?

Organized gives a personality feel to it, which makes me think penguins are in play

But are penguins really organised?

They just stand in a big group

Organised sticks? Seems odd

Organised might imply ticking something off

I think tick feels closest but also not the best clue

Id go for thay barring any other thoughts

Penguin/row could just be ducks or flock or something. Also, eb clued biodiversity and it's the only animal on the board, and also lives on land and sea...seems like a pretty risky move if it's ours.

There are several reasons not to pick every word on the board, so I think we just go with the most direct connection and for me that is tick. I'm happy for that to be bolded.

I’m ok with tick

Still feel checkboxes or todos or ocd woulda been clued instead, but I agree on penguin and have no other options

I guess it could be stick but who knows
