Codenames League - Match Thread A

yeah this can go a lot of ways

i think i'd go with

soul
knife
fighter
church?

top 3 seem kinda unavoidable. maybe bermuda instead of church? idk

Sure

Bermuda/Box/Mine for backup list?

yeah that sounds good. nurse could be in there too, but meh

Soul
Knife
Fighter
Church
Pass

Bermuda
Box
Mine

animals - 5
death - 4

Africa
Bermuda
Box
Chocolate
Giant
Horn
Mine
Net
Nurse
Orange
Pin
Pipe
Pupil
Spot
Square
Table

Hawk
Whale
Mole
Kiwi
Dragon

Soul
Knife
Fighter
Church

cutman - unlimited

Box
Nurse

Any others?

I mean he did unlimited and we need 4 so normally it's

box
nurse
africa
horn
bottles

the other option is cutman is for 3 words and then final word is horn, 2nd on list

but I'm not seeing an obvious other word for cutman so thinking it's africa and horn

semi-related:

horn - no, it's a bell
pin - no, that's wrestling; tho perhaps wrestling/mma also have cutmen?
pupil - swollen eyes would be a common thing they treat
square - the boxing ring is a square

Africa
Bermuda
Box
Chocolate
Giant
Horn
Mine
Net
Nurse
Orange
Pin
Pipe
Pupil
Spot
Square
Table

Had to take a second to realize this meant the boxing term.

Box
Nurse
Africa
Horn

And I see we agree.

The other word I saw was table, I think there's a little table the cutman uses in the corner between rounds? But I like going 2 and 2 here. If it were 3 and 1 it would have just been a 3 clue. Unlimited here has to mean we use the entire list.

Well if horn is ours and not Africa then you go unlimited

If Africa is ours you use n-1 3 clue

But I like 2+2 because anything after box nurse isn’t a great connection

Okay that's a good point.

So it's

Box
Nurse
Horn
Africa

box
nurse
horn
africa
bottles

table
pin

animals - 5
death - 4
cutman - unlimited

Bermuda
Chocolate
Giant
Mine
Net
Orange
Pin
Pipe
Pupil
Spot
Square
Table

Hawk
Whale
Mole
Kiwi
Dragon
Box
Nurse
Horn

Soul
Knife
Fighter
Church

Africa

BOOM. Excellent point there Nich.

Jfc

dark - 4

Bermuda - no
Chocolate - yes
Giant - no
Mine - yes
Net - no
Orange - could be a thing
Pin - nah
Pipe - not really
Pupil - yes
Spot - maybe
Square - no
Table - they can be

Dark chocolate yum
Orange for colour shade
It's dark inside mines
Dark web (net)
You can get dark spots on your skin
The pupil is the dark bit of the eye

Couple of stretches there but DZ knows we need to YOLO and get lucky lol

yeah i don't think there is a real way to solve it exactly

also surprised we went 4/4 last turn 😆

start with chocolate/mine/pupil?

Sure

Chocolate
Mine
Pupil

X3 blue

This could be the greatest win in Codenames history

Let's see

If last word is Orange maybe 'colour' would be the YOLO clue? Chocolate brown, colour of eyes and you can find coloured minerals in mines

For Spot then maybe 'brown' could be the clue, dirt for mine and moles on your skin are brown although I think dark is a better clue

So between Spot and Net imo

I prefer Net but it's like 55/45 so if you're more convinced with Spot i'm good going for that

yeah i think the orange clue could be different

and is it possible a dark web reference would be capitalized? i have no idea. it def could be ours, but it's also a connection he might not even make from net

i also think table is possible. plenty of dark wood out there. giggity

but spot seems best to me with "dark spots" being an actual thing. not only that, but stains, dalmatians, etc etc

also "brown" as a clue would definitely get us to say orange imo
