Codenames for Suckers

For IBD to be worried about helmet it means that both Russia and School are blue.

That's time sorted and 2/3 done for Norway.

I agree that Earth is probably next.

Sorry if we could have done that half a day ago but I had to figure things out for myself. Too many times I've guessed impulsively without thinking thoroughly.

The other thing to consider with a 0 clue is if we can guess any antonyms of head.

I don't see any is the only problem with that.

Teh other thing to be concerned with is that red should have a decent shot of winning next turn. Probably just an unavoidable situation if we were about to guess a red/purple.

Only thing to discuss is a backup list.

I think helmet, comb and possibly back are out (I don't personally see how tick is out as ticks can affect other body parts just as much.

Are we trying to connect to Norway/Time or just throw out some random words for a backup?

Tick heads often break off when they bite.

time: life/school
Norway: viking/Russia/Earth

Since we don't have any other things we've been clued for, we could just do Russia/Earth on the small chance that school is theirs (there are department heads in schools), which would be disastrous for us.

If school is theirs, then we'll know because they have to clue for it next round. Then we can be sure that tick is the last one.

I'm kinda leaning that direction because there's not a whole lot of value in a backup list of random words with only 2 to go.

So we go

Russia
Earth
Pass

School
Tick

??

Yeah, I think it's best.

Russia
Earth
Pass

casino - 3
time - 2
nest - 3
Norway - 3
blueprint - 4
head - 0

Back
Bark
Boom
Comb
Frog
Helmet
Jeweler
Olive
School
Tick
Triangle

Dice
Robin
Ink
File
Scientist

Life
Viking
Pound
Russia
Earth

Green
Jail
Craft
Iceland

Triforce - 3

Pretty sure that ain’t legal, friend.

I think it is; it's not on the board and it nor any of the words on the board are compound words so I don't think that applies either

but if you disagree I'm fine taking penalty and keeping this moving

We can just keep going with your turn. Not interested in delaying the game further. I should’ve messaged you instead of posting in the thread.

Bump for PC AND Donk

Need to have a proper think since there is going to be some overlap as we've been clued for 10 words

First thoughts are triangle/jeweler/frog

Maybe some types of frogs do have nests?

Bump for donk

sorry

maybe frogs do nest but not for reproduction? i cannot think why because they're cold blooded animals

im proper confused with all the repeat clues as to what our words are

I'm certain on bark

what even is triforce? sounds vaguely french

Triforce is the symbol icon thingy from Zelda, 3 golden triangles encased in one large triangle

Wouldn't nich go unlimited if Bark was ours as next in list? We've been clued for 13 words so loads of overlap

casino (3) - Dice, ?, ?

nest (3) - Robin, ?, ?

blueprint (4) - Ink, File, Scientist, ?

Triforce (3) - Triangle, Frog, Jeweler

I want to say Triforce is like an artifact type of thing so jeweler

Loads of frogs in Zelda iirc so should be

Frog could also be a nest word, Jeweler a casino word maybe?

oh i've never played zelda i never got a nintendo

i'll trust your expertise

My 'expertise' is from about 20 years ago 😃

Let's see if i'm right first I guess, I also think School could be ours due to the head - 0 clue (headteacher) and it fits blueprint

Triangle
Frog
Jeweler

school

frog

casino - 3
time - 2
nest - 3
Norway - 3

:( been a tough game this one

posterior - unlimited

School/Tick/Back unless there's something I'm missing

Unlimited when 3 words are left has to be 1 + 2 makeup words.

Seems exactly as you said

Back
School
Tick
