Oh, game was the second horseshoe word

So we still have nurse as a beer backup, but I'd suggest we leave it on our list, guess two, and let him signal it with his next clue. If we're right, he's cluing one. If it's wrong, he still needs a 2 clue. We can't win here, so no point going for the extra

:facepalm: I hadn’t noticed the clue was horseshoes[/b]. YOU’RE WELCOME

n-1, so mole should be ours (even though I neglected to add a list when I bolded game).

Washer and wind seems about right for this clue.

I’m not sure how trump hits one of washer/wind/mole, but it’s all I’ve got.

oops

game was next on their list so I didn't think we'd be guessing that

the reason for horseshoes over horseshoe was for the game ~ every time

doesn't matter much since next on their list they woulda guessed anyway

Arrested Development is a 90s hip hop band mostly known for their hit Mr Wendall, but they had a 2nd hit Tennessee, which has the line "a game of Horseshoes!" in it that I heard in my mind as soon as I saw that clue

mole could be for mole, the mexican sauce, so that makes sense for final eat word; no clue on non-capitalized trump

Mole is...

Yeah sorry, I missed that it was horseshoes otherwise I never would’ve gone with game. Still nfi what the 2nd trump word could be.

Glad you’re back! Of course, I’ve already spent the turn without you haha.

Glove looks good
Nurse is out

I have a meeting in two minutes so can't think deeply at the moment

Glove - Lock
Grace - ?
King - ?
Nurse - Ruled out by n-1 denial
Queen - Softball being a sport played heavily by women and girls, I want to see a connection here but I don't know what.
Thumb - Is Softball Thumb a known injury?
Web - Weird clue for this. I'd expect a more equipment-centric clue like Mitt for this.

So what connects with beer? Is it glove or the other word?

I guess in theory softball connects with beer (when the game is played properly), but I think beer -> glove is a big step.

Bud is the King of beers, if I remember my commercials correctly. There's also essentially limitless opportunities for beer brands, but I see very little American beer up here so can't really comment beyond that.

Grace could be a hint at a famous softball player, but again, I dunno. Maybe Grace because it's a woman's name and at the Olympic level softball is only represented for women. Queen hits there, too, in some ways

I think Thumb & Glove have better clues, same with Web. So we're looking at Grace, King & Queen

In theory, Game could have been the fourth word for beer - beer pong, have a beer watching the game

That would make sense. Game got re-clued.

Grace as a softball PLAYER makes a lot of sense.

But Queen does, too.

Is there something unique about softball glove webbing? Probably...

I am struggling with why he'd reclue game second, with Unicorn for a 2 clue. That doesn't track
