bump for ibd


professor - 2


so not Tokyo and not vet (was 2nd word on list so woulda been unlimited)


Bottle - drunk professor? nah
Brush - nah
Chair - prolly; chair of the department; could also be last Administration word
Hook - nah
Jupiter - science professor, but nah
Microscope - better for science professor
Pan - nah
Play - nah
Revolution - teach about revolution, which could be our final Administration word also
Switch - meh
Tap - not really
Tokyo - no, 2 clue
Vet - no, 2 clue

Administration:
Space
Port
Washington
Contract
?

sewn:
cloak
button

not sure yet on professor

prolly chair + ?

chair + revolution would be Mao so revolution is out


chair + revolution = Mao
chair + microscope = ?
chair + brush = stylist/barber
chair+bottle = barstool
chair + hook = Captain
chair + jupiter = throne
chair + pan = bed
chair + play = swing
chair + switch = ?
chair + tap = ?

so if chair is ours then microscope/switch/tap work but only microscope really hits professor

not sure of words if chair isn't ours


I agree chair is the clearest hit. There would have to be TWO teally obvious words for me not to go chair here.

Bottle - drunk professor? nah - Botanists use them, really weak
Brush - nah - Nah
Chair - prolly; chair of the department; could also be last Administration word - senior professors chair departments
Hook - nah - Hook was a Captain not a Professor
Jupiter - science professor, but nah - I'd clue Astronomy here to get Jupiter and Chair, I don't think Pan has a constellation
Microscope - better for science professor - Science professors use them, yes
Pan - nah - Nah
Play - nah - A literature professor would study plays?
Revolution - teach about revolution, which could be our final Administration word also - History professor, yes
Switch - meh - Engineering professors use them, really really weak
Tap - not really - Performing arts professors tap dance, really really really really really weak
Tokyo - no, 2 clue
Vet - no, 2 clue

Previous clues:

Sewn - 2 - Cloak, Button
Administration - 5 - Space, Port, Washington, Contract, XX

Administrations have boards with chairs. Chair could be the last administration word, and fits really well with the other words which all have a bureaucratic context.

So I'm not inclined to give extra weight to revolution. I also think there are better clues for revolution + chair, but you'd have to think of revolution in the context of spinning. And so clue Spinning. Revolution + Chair.

Chair, Microscope, Bottles


yeah i'm good with chair microscope bottles

I don't think either are equestrian wormhole or bees words and I think we got all the admin words with chair so everything seems to fit


Chair
Microscope
Bottles


pro tip: when cluing in codenames, make sure the word has not been already guessed. It makes winning much easier


Track
Honey
Jupiter
Princess
Fence
Vet
Tube
Air
Hook
Washington
Space
Cloak
Button
Contract
Chair
Microscope
Port
Brush
Bottle
Play
Tokyo
Switch
Pan
Revolution
Tap

I tried to clue Princess with bees, but obviously you'd already gotten that one so what was I thinking?


Nice job, guys. Sorry about taking so long to clue, it was a combination of general busyness combined with not knowing how tf to connect these last two words.

I was thinking lab/laboratory, but wasn’t sure it’d hit chair before hitting bottle (beaker/flask). I was worried about getting too sciency because of Jupiter, which would’ve been disastrous. Study/desk/class/research were all considered as well.

I’m glad you guys picked up what I was putting down.

gg all


I had Jupiter as wormhole word but def woulda gone bottle+microscope for lab/laboratory

professor was a great clue because it really only hit that combo


At least you weren't cluing in two games and clue the other team's board in the other game you were cluing in.


Easily my favorite codenames moment ever and can’t imagine it’ll be topped.

Well this is a first.

Not sure what to do now.

by eyebooger

We've had people be confused about what team they're on, but this has to be the first time that the opposing spymaster who literally has all the colors of all the words try to win the game for the other team.
