Codenames for Suckers

Only thing that's giving me pause is wondering if there's a better option for those three.

Yeah, something like "spy" or seems to hit those pretty hard. Maybe shot could be a blocker. CIA would probably hit capital. "Covert" is a decent clue for those three, but I'd consider sneak a synonym so potato/potahto I guess.

The more I think about it, the more I like mouse. It's got higher than normal purple equity, but at the same time, do we think we're getting another turn here?

They need five. I’m fairly confident we’re getting another turn.

Should we guess two and pass?

I think we go for the win here. I was just responding to the question of whether I thought we’d get another turn.

And I’m fine with mouse third. It’s the only word on the board we 100% know isn’t theirs. It could be dark orchid, but I wonder if xander might’ve done his zero clue out of the gate if that were the case. The sequence of clues makes it seem more likely to me that he was trying to avoid them from gifting us a word near the endgame.

Mouse blocker was annoying and Zurvan correctly left it on the board until the end.

I didn't think you'd go for Mickey = Figure but I guess you did.

Was kinda hoping you'd get Figure as a makeup word and then run the board on the other animal words.

Wasn't to be.

Holy hell we almost guessed code.

Heyo! Never a doubt.

if you did rat - 0 then we run the board of animals then guess figure as next on list

Mickey is one of the most famous figures of all time

Figure was not on my radar. I just wanted a word that was obviously "not mouse".

My bad I guess.

Way to go. I did not remotely expect you to come up with Code there, I was sweating it out until the end (which was now, because I didn't see this earlier)

Great clues!
