Face? Or would that be capitalised?


I would think it would be. Still possible though.

Lawyers charge by the hour, could be that.

I honestly don't really like anything beyond spring/scale.


Yeah, lawyer was the other one that stood out to me a bit. I don't really see anything else.

Also, thoughts on the other princess word and why it was capped? Maybe just for grace, but that doesn't really seem necessary, and wouldn't grace/king/london just be queen? There's no blockers for it afaict.

There was a princess in Peter Pan right? I've never actually seen it, but it's a disney movie so I just assume there is.


It's been a long time since I've seen Peter Pan but I don't think there's a princess.

No idea on the capitalization. King Princess is a singer, but similar to grace, it would be unnecessary.

Agree about the grace/king/london = queen idea, but at the same time thinking London could be the last time word because Greenwich.

So no real idea, I'm fine with taking a shot at any of London/Pan/Lawyer even though I don't really like any of them very much.


London also works for time for Big Ben. I'd be in favour of it over lawyer except that it was next on our list anyway so why reclue it? It's probably least likely to be a bad word of the ones we're considering tho so maybe we guess that 3rd.

Pan

?

This all feels quite wrong to me but I have no better ideas.


by D1iabol1cal m

so why reclue it?

Unless it's a signal that pan was the princess and London is for time?

But then wouldn't you just do unlimited?

Fine with bolding your idea, but just wanted to post this as a possibility.


Yeah, I think you do unlimited there because it's not like this hits a bunch of words that we could go off the rails with it. Still possible.

It occurred to me that he may be avoiding face (card) by not cluing queen, and now with lower case time it seems like he might be actively avoiding it. But that is so far outside the other 3 words that he really shouldn't be worried about it. Maybe put pan above it in the list now that I think about it tho.

morgue - 3


Undertaker...probably hospital and knife?

the only thing I can think of right now is


lol


Yeah, undertaker/hospital/knife all seem pretty good. Undertaker is obv, hospitals have morgues (mortuary would've clued away from it imo), and knives (scalpels) are used in morgues for autopsies. Some people in morgues are also there because of a knife.

Jet should be safe to guess as well due to n-1. Might be neutral, but it's possible we spursed one of the power words.


I'd bold them all right now, but you were in the probably camp for hospital and knife, so I want to make sure you're good.


I'm good with those 3 but pretty firmly against Jet

we just had it as an afterthought and this would be all we're being clued for assuming we get these 3, I'd feel better guessing it if we got an unlimited clue

also pretty disastrous if we give them one as they go from needing 4 to 3, and they probably have something in mind for their makeup so they could be down to just a 2 clue + makeup if we give them one


Sorry man, I'm not going to do this with you. The clue that was given was an n-1 clue. I'm bolding jet and frankly don't care if it's the assassin.

An unlimited clue would make it unclear if morgue was a 2-clue or a 3-clue, meaning we'd have to decide if both jet/scale were correct or just scale.

I'm not trying to be difficult here, but I am telling you now and I'm telling you once: if I am bolding any words this turn, jet is one of them.

You also have the option of bolding undertaker/hospital/knife/pass. I can't stop you from doing that. But I'm not going to discuss it. Either you're passing or I'm bolding jet. Sorry that it has to be that way, but it does.

Well, we have two choices:

Mouse
Ninja
Pan
Face

Mouse
Ninja
[3rd quiet word]
Face


Yeah, I don't get xander's play here at all but face is ours either way.

Not really seeing a 3rd quiet word here either so we probably just have to go with pan? Could be cotton I guess.
