We need three, and we can’t win here. So we should go

My bad

Agree on first 2 but kinda thinking we should have a different backup.

If bucket was ours then we'd likely get drum - 3 or a 2 clue now letting us know that bucket is ours.

The reason he's going window 1 now means a couple of things to me:

- Blue are way off and we have time

- Perhaps glass is really close to a blue or assassin word (crystal or something)

I think if we pick a backup word from the remaining words not linked to window, drum or WW2 then we have a 5% chance of making ebs life easier with a 1 clue next time round.

Shorts or Point or Wagon or something?


As long as what’s bolded is

Glass
Pass

I don’t care what else is on a list. Go ahead and follow your heart


Glass
Pass

Shorts


Red

wheel - 6


n-1 so point is ours


wagon for sure

card wheels are things too iirc, also wheel is an A-5 straight.

maybe code?

I'm not sure how these fit with hot/Jerry


Jerry Yang for card connection

Also can get hot in cards

I like point, wagon, card, iron (for hot)

After that it gets sketchy


Crystal is a person’s name, like Jerry; easy to overlook tho as not a common name like Jerry


wheel:
wagon
card
dash (Door Dash, just dashing around town in your car, someone who is fast has wheels, etc.)
bucket - mop buckets and others have wheels; a wheelbarrow is just a large bucket on a wheel
iron - wheels can be made of iron, like the steel rims before aluminum rims became affordable 20 years ago
Egypt - the wheel was invented in ancient times and Egypt is associated with ancient times
moon - is round like a wheel; meh

so if we go with those first 6, that means:

hot:
iron
card
Egypt
?

Jerry:
Mouse
Card
Dash
?

but if point/dash/iron are all ours then he woulda done unlimited

point is 100% ours with n-1
iron is super strong for hot

so I'd say we eliminate dash

and he couldn't do 0 clue because wagon and card not on our list

new option...

hot:
iron
card
Egypt or Africa or minute
head

Jerry:
Mouse
Card
?
?

wheel:
wagon
card
iron
?
?
?

so we need 2 of:
Egypt
Africa
minute
head

and then one other word for wagon

minute - wheel of time; rpms; etc


so

point
wagon
card
iron

seem like ones we're pretty confident on


I'm not sure on either Egypt or Africa for wheel, that connection feels too thin.

I think i like head and minute

hot:
iron
card
minute
head

Jerry:
mouse
wagon
point
?

i don't know how wagon fits in with Jerry unless Jerry Wagon is some kind of scottish slang that i've never heard of.

wheel:
wagon
iron
card
minute
head
?


Dead Heads worship Jerry Garcia


bump


I'll wave the white flag to move the game along, got no chance of winning as their last 2 words is point/dash so easy punctuation/symbol - 2 clue

Was just a YOLO clue as none of mouth/dash/point were ours lol

I completely missed pepper so that was a great start, hot was for iron/Egypt/shorts/minute

Jerry was for mouse, crystal (another name), bucket (jerry can, a can is kind of like a bucket) and wagon (car fuel jerry can connection)

Had to YOLO it knew it was a big stretch but had no chance of winning in 3 turns


gg


Yeah tough board

We needed 7 and you clued 6 so we were always going point first as that was presumed to be 100% ours as next on list

So yeah, if that is their word then we weren’t getting there


Gg us again

Seem to be on a little bit of a roll.
