Olve

We will always guess

Whats a paper doll?

Tube top?
Nut has urrrrr coniatutons

Paper dolls are paper cut outs of figures that you overlay with paper clothing cutouts to play fashion dress up. Or used to in the days before computers.

Iron / Queen / Olive / Cover

Olive works. Lady *is* a name and not just a noun.

Don't like Nut feels two steppy.

I like Tube as much as I like Paper. Feels marginal.

We probably weren't intended to WIN here,b ut I figure most things we guess here are at least safe.

Hmm I thunk this is going for the win cuz they have 2 left?

The fifth does feel most marginal

They have cover AND Queen in their list

I guess they do have two to go.

Queen HAS to be ours though. If it's not, we have no outs.

So

Are they caught yp? I think so tbh so we cant work out their words?

I wanna go paper?

There's a decent chance one of our words has no real connection to this clue. And that's why it feels so thin.

They have eight clued and 7 red. But I suspect Bear was an overlap. So they're caught up and they're gonna roll a 2 clue here.

I think we just have to do our best.

A list is highly unlikely to matter, but it can't hurt.

Good luck to us.

way - 2

Lead the way to victory, eb

Lead and what else?

waterway is the most direct one

lead+water could also be pipes, but tube and plastic and flute and glass block that

and mercury blocks water contamination type clues

Any concern that Water is their last Lady word?

it's possible; lady is capitalized; could be for the noble title of Lady to better hit Queen, but it's not needed for lady to hit Queen

Lady in the Water is an M Night movie, so could hit water, but if nothing else hits way I don't know that I'd 100% avoid water because of it

let's look at options

kangaroo - 5:
Australia
cricket
eagle
octopus
bear

Medvedev - 3:
Moscow
server
perhaps bear or octopus or maybe something else?

way - 2:
lead the way
water?
something else?

for them...

Moonraker - 3:
spy
satellite
novel

Lady - unlimited:

they only had one word left on list, queen, so coulda done n-1 but did unlimited because Lady is not for 4 words, but for 2-3 words

they also already had queen as makeup with unlimited or n-1, so Lady isn't for queen

iron
olive
cover

so not another lady word unless they spursed one of those, as he didn't go n-1 so wasn't for 4 words

which makes water better

lead could also be Medvedev 3rd word as he was a top rated player

remaining words:
Flute - don't see way and flute+lead is pipe
Glass - don't see way and glass+lead is silicon
Lead - lead the way to victory, hopefully
Mercury - don't see it and mercury+lead is any periodic table metal element that doesn't hit another word
Nut - don't see it
Plastic - don't see it
Post - don't see it
Tube - stretchy for subway meaning of tube; the way you travel, etc. seems stretchy to me tho
Water - waterway is a thing; best hit in a vacuum if not worried about other team

only 3 options I see at all are:
lead
water
tube

I don't see guessing any of the other words

water+tube would be hose or slide or similar
