Is frog even a valid clue, given that it's a word on the board?


I'd go Hand, Jumper, River, with Hawk as backup.


I kinda don't understand an unlimited clue here, though. There's no word left on our list for us to ignore, except Hand, and if he wanted us to guess it there's a two clue or skip it then it's a 3. So if you can make sense of that in some way that guides our choice, that'd be cool

Once a word is cleared from the board it becomes a valid clue.

Oh, cool. I didn't know that.


Yea D1 and I subscribe to the same unlimited way of clueing and he wants us to guess our last mentioned word/candidate here which was definitely Hand

Then for the clue after thinking some more I think it's (by a wide margin)

Jumper(ldo) and Hawk(only other animal up there)

He wanted to clue an animal(to get hawk) and something that is known for jumping = frog

Hand
Frog
Hawk
Bottles

Bold if agree


River + jumper I think would be something else like bungee or bridge or something

An animal is so we guess an animal


and meant

Hand
Jumper
Hawk
Bottles

as opposed to guessing frog :p


Hand
Jumper
Hawk
Bottles


Lol

Ok so Alaska

That's probably a normandy word too (a northern region of a country)

Pipe

Gonna have to go through this clue by clue...


Field was a freebie

Normandy - 3

France
Alaska
???

neigh - 3

Quack
Stable
???

oil - unlimited

Alaska
Pipe


We had

Pearl
Hand
Whip

as the next 3 in line


Hand is gone, leaving our backups as Pearl and Whip


Normandy - 3

France
Alaska
Pearl

neigh - 3

Quack
Stable
Whip

oil - unlimited

Alaska
Pipe

That would be all 8 words and working backwards all clues and numbers accounted for.

Unlimited makes sense since there are 2 oil words and 2 backups.


No conflict with the red clues either.

Feeling decent about these, just obviously need to wait for Donk to weigh in.


Yeah that all checks out to me go for it


Alaska
Pipe
Pearl
Whip


uh oh that feels right



I can’t ****ing believe we won this match. Nice job, guys.

Quack
Stable

I think Whip would be ok if the clue was Horse, but it's a step further away than that.

2 normandy words too.

Frog and Pearl?

I don't know what the 3rd neigh word is but I don't think it's Hawk.

Horse doesn’t get quack and probably puts you guys on jumper (or the other animals on the board).

All good tho, we got there in the end.


What a game
