I really don't know

I feel like net is a super thin connection with burn but is my second favorite connection with futures.

maybe if i had money i'd know about futures.


This is gonna be another 3 day discussion where we make no ground and get stuff wrong. I can feel it.

Dollar

If that's wrong then we can be put out of our misery now.

I'm staring at the list and i can't come up with a better two words than trying game and net

everything is extremely thin for at least one of the two clues (at least to the extent I understand futures, there could be a connection I simply don't know)


If it was just me on the guessing team then I'd be guessing game and net.

I'm happy to talk more though if you think it'll help.


lets just get it over and done with like pulling off a band aid

Game
Net


army - 3
tundra - 3
burn - 6

wood - 4
futures - 3

Anchor
Banana
Cloak
Elephant
Foot
Jupiter
Net
Rainbow
Shoe
Sink
Trip

Napoleon
Sword
Ant
Sun
Phoenix
Witch
Dollar

Penguin
Swamp
Forest
Nail
Game


Second
Brick


nonslip - 2


so I guess we're back to Rainbow....Shoe? and something else that has to do with nonslip and wood?


Yes and I don't have any idea what that could be.


for real lol


you wanna start with the first 2? if it's not those then i have nfi at all lol


I was thinking it could be foot because that actually makes some kind of sense for both....but it was our next word after rainbow and we didn't get an unlimited

could be some world where rainbow is bad and we need foot instead...yarg ok how to make sense of this


If this is for shoe and foot, then this is the worst clue of all time.


yea also that lmao, something like sandal or a million things would just work

OK so that's def out

we're doing Shoe no matter what right?

and then I guess rainbow too then?


Shoe
Rainbow


Shoe
Rainbow


well now what lol


Anchor - definitely doesn't slip, ships can be wooden?
Banana - no, slippery
Cloak - no
Elephant - feet are nonslip, live in forest.
Foot - no, not unlimited
Jupiter - no
Net - ehhh, not really
Sink - might sink into a nonslip surface? Wood can sink.
Trip - might trip over something nonslip, trip over a piece of wood.

So one of anchor/elephant/sink/trip imo, but all of them are huge stretches for both clues. I can't even rule anything out for being a burn/futures word because I don't get those clues either. Tough spot.


Shoe/anchor = ?
Shoe/elephant = leather
Shoe/sink = ?
Shoe/trip = hiking

So I guess I'm on anchor or sink at this stage.


You can have nonslip mats at the sink too, so I think that's where I'm leaning.


Yea I'm sorta between anchor and sink too

Don't really get either for wood

Is sinking the opposite of slipping? It's...not swimming but is it not slipping?


I wouldn't say it's the opposite of slipping, but it's definitely not the same thing. I like it more for the mat connection anyway.


Biggest problem I have with sink is that it could be a burn word (washing a burn at the sink). Not sure if it hits futures tho?


def don't think it's a futures word

think there's a place called Anchorwood or something? idk if that'd be the idea, anchor seems antislippy...not sure about nonslip tho
