cleaner - 2


should be in these 4:

Lemon
Sink
Skyscraper
Stick?

sink was next on our list, so we have to throw that out, especially with nich cluing

i'm seeing lots of blockers for the remaining three combos and i feel like i'm not choosing correctly very often lately!


stick/skyscraper seems unlikely to be this clue (wouldn't it just be long?)

lemon/stick would be tree, but bark is obv a massive blocker. febreeze would probably work

lemon/skyscraper is rough. Apple would work if the company didn't exist, which brings stick into play

so i guess i'm leaning lemon/skyscraper. stick isn't the greatest fit anyway

maybe another word is possible? but i see nothing


I'm ok with lemon/skyscraper, i don't see much else


lemon
skyscraper




Perfect guessing

And great job with terminator sinking to unblock that blocker


whew, i was still worried since the final word has been hard for me lately!

great clues


I was debating things like janitor or custodian to ensure you got skyscraper but then lemon isn’t quite as good a hit on janitor as on cleaner

But cleaner isn’t as good for skyscraper unless you think of cleaner as a person like a janitor


gg all, what was our last 2 words?


Y’all were close

Hawk as 2nd on list was unlimited and Bermuda, another geographical place, was last one for Indy

Tough bc no way to know if Bermuda is yours for that 3rd Indy connection or if it’s top 2 of list

i was thinking of window washer πŸ˜†

it definitely helped that no other options made sense


Yeah window washer was one I hoped you’d think of for cleaner

And nothing else making sense was key, but most importantly you unblocked sink

You could work through combos

Lemon+sink = Dawn or other kitchen stuff
Sink+skyscraper = plumbing etc

But still woulda been tough to not go sink if you hadn’t been on it for terminator


I was swinging for the fences. Bermuda -> Berumda Triangle -> Indy supernatural stuff. Desperation.


I did not think it was a sure thing to get lemon/skyscraper, but it was possible. Well done.

Could we get a board randed for Match Thread B please

bump


48 hour clock still on by the way.

About 12 hours left for a clue or it's blue's turn.


i think we can not enforce that rule at this point of the game. completely breaks it

i mean our thread hasn't even been randed a board yet. sad state of affairs all around

should just let AI play at this point
