I think boom and bomb hit match about the same as explosion does. Why doesn't it?

And yeah, I'm not keen on guessing undertaker either...just throwing it out there.


for me, lighting a match is a mini explosion. much more direct than the other options

idk. maybe dynamite would be better for the four i'm leaning towards, but that's a hard game to play with a full board


I do think sound/match/tick/time is boom, so I reckon at least one of those is wrong. Even bomb or dynamite is better for those 4 imo.

Welp


magazine - unlimited


so our last 3 and also some new ones

Paper and Time both seem good

another isn't jumping out at me currently so may just be a 2 clue

but if there is something of course huge advantage to go from needing 3 to just 2


Paper. Not seeing much more. Specifically don't like plot because it's magazine and not book.

There's a magazine in a gun too, but I'm not seeing any gun words

I think there must be another magazine word because a 1 clue this early is weak sauce.

I really don't like unlimited clues this early personally. We don't know how many words we're going for. I'd prefer a magazine 2 or 3. We can get our backups whenever. No rush.


Time

Of course

Good spot

I think going for paper and time and a decently thought through backup list is better than risking a 3 when we don't know if there is one.

If our backup is right then we get a 2 clue to finish, if 2nd in line is right then we get unlimited and if they're both wrong then we get a e clue.

Backup 1
Backup 2

We need 2 good backups here before we bold anything.


I like hand for a backup because a magazine is handheld.

I then feel like screen might be next backup as some shows are magazine shows that have a bunch of different segments.

I'm really feeling like this is a 2 clue, but we should definitely still don2 backups.

depending on who it is 😀 I would always clue unlimited if the backup is correct and a 2 if I want my team to look around past the last mentioned word. I think IBD does it the way you say though.


I like Hand the most as backup, nothing else really sticks out to me so I'm cool with whatever connection or backup you like.

Maybe it's a stretch 3 clue but we'll find out then, think we just treat it like a 2 that gives us the ability to fetch all of our previous words and go from there

so good with

the 5 words
pass

hand
whatever you like

I know how you do it and how IBD does it. So we're going with the way I say for this game.

display - 0


So, not screen. Is this supposed to hit van too? I don't think it hits tick, but then why give a 0 clue now if next word on our list is good?


i have no idea


maybe we should do van and undertaker


i don't get how any combo leads to explosion as the clue unless van is part of it


You don't think display hits van?

Or maybe this is just for screen and we're supposed to run the list.


We kinda have to guess a few words here to have any chance of winning.

Tick
Van
Plot
Undertaker

Is the order we had with screen removed. Should we just guess them all?
