Sigh

baker

actual game rules has actor=actress and even UFO = flying saucer

but we decided here to do exact only, which makes sense to increase difficulty for us, but yeah, sigh here

p10 was pat-a-cake (pat-a-cake, baker's man, bake me a cake as fast as you can)

but p9 patissier is what I would have clued here had ya'll gone cream or whatever to let you know it was baker, not bakery

Yeah, it was tue fact you had p10>p9 that sold bakery over baker for me.

yeah with bakery I woulda mentioned plural words

at least e6/e7, p3/p4 etc.

but you had a banger p10 for bakery so I don't blame you

Round 15:

Cards used: 20
Guessers: bolt/ibd

The Board:

A | RG | M | JOVW | P | DL

The target word:
I've sent it to pogcrazy94, d1iabol1cal, doctor zeus, amazingervin

NOTE: These are the last 6 cards in the game

well g5 is a lock but don't wanna use 2 cards

r7 gets in the domain

d6 may get it but could go wrong

a5 is a one shot, but likely a shadowfax

A9 average.

G5 a lock

Is d4/d8 stupid? I quite like it....

my favorite line is a5 -> g5

decent chance they've heard of a5 and then get it; if not, g5 is a lock

if we go d4/d8 or other words then if they don't get it we are in trouble, so I think unlocking g with a decent a makes sense

Hnmm i dont know a5 give me a bit

Do you know a9?

I agree with the a5 plan. It's worth the risk if any other way will probably take 2 turns anyway, and it's not a huge shadowfax imo.

Yeah I know a9; it’s not bad but likely gets a different guess

Ok do it pending amazing ae ideas

They may be able to deduce g5/r7 with a9 tho, so maybe not a bad direction to go.

Ervin and pogcrazy both gotta weigh in before we decide

I'm fine with either A5/G5 or A9/G5 slight preference for A5

Aw man I feel we should count that last one as 1 idk...tbh I even thought the target was bakery why I was so enthusiastic about patisserie, would have taken some time to perhaps think of patissier and also just some proper noun baker names

Idk shuffle that letter back in somewhere imo but maybe the idea is different enough...idk tho feels like they got it

Instant thought was L7, it can go a lot of ways but not really, maybe we capitalize it idk could leave it lower too

Yeah I get it and by the rules in the game you prolly count it

But we are pretty good at this and playing exact word only makes it simpler as well as we don’t have to worry about deciding if an answer is close enough or not

Baker is a person and bakery a place so different enough anyway even if they share 5 letters

Yeah I thought of L7 also; it’s an option, but I really prefer A because G is the only guarantee

Any DL that misses isn’t really recoverable

But there are two good a choices and they are backed up by lock g5

I didn't know this word a5, there's an a6 way to do it too right? Same root kinda I've never heard of this but lots of things I don't know

a5 and hope they know this shadowfaxy thing is prob the route, tho idk if people like L7 I don't know what I would think in guessers spot if I got that clue. And just to clarify it's not L7 the boring thing that would lead them totally astray but like ... L7 !!!

Yea ok so you know it, idk...like it's weird as a guesser but you think you would get it with that clue? Obv at first it's wtf but I think both of them would know it...?
