Mercury

All right, so I don't think it's Mercury/suit. Mercury/Queen/Band is a pretty wide open combo for something Freddy-related (though England blocks, obv) - so I can't see it being all three of those.

I guess I'm between Band and Dance for Mozart because of the music connection, but I could see Queen because he was a court composer.

I literally have zero idea what the second gravity word might be.

I guess I'm okay with band or dance the most here because of what I'm considering they're least likely to be a murder word and way too close with the Mozart connection for it to be the assassin.

Dance > Band imo because it was next on the list, it doesn't fit murder, and Donk didn't try to scare me off of it. Should be neutral at worst.

Sorry if I'm wrong, Donk.

Dance

Dance is red

Feels like that closes out Mozart and it seems like Queen isn't ours because of no unlimited, so I'm pulling it off the list. I'll leave band just in case. Still no idea on the 2nd gravity word, but I gotta put something.

Not England then

This was my list so England is out bc 5 clue

You could have just done 0 clue if I had all 5 on this list of 9 words and an easy way to link the wrong ones, so either I’m missing 1+ or no easy way to link the wrong ones in a 0 clue

Band - band of thieves; theft form of word seems less likely
Battery - seems better as a closely linked other crime charge
Bermuda - maybe
China - maybe
Cricket - nah
Date - mugged while on a date? Meh
England - nope
Fence - fencing stolen good seems good
Microscope - not as good now
Mug - mugging is a subcategory of theft
Press - nah
Queen - meh
Root - nah
Suit - lawsuit over theft; mug people in suits

Mug
Fence
Battery
Suit

Then a country?

I guess that works; fence and suit weren’t in my original list so 0 clue wouldn’t work

Couldn’t do unlimited here, either, bc too likely I’d go down the list and not just 2nd on list, China…but lack of unlimited I guess loses a bit for China

Let’s start with

mug
fence
battery
suit

China
Bermuda

Blue x4

Ugh, roughly 50/50 now

China known for IP theft, etc.

Both hit about same for murder and theft I guess

You could have done theft - unlimited to hit China 2nd on list, but good chance I do China and England and 3 theft words rather than know it’s 4&1, so you didn’t deny China by cluing 5

Don’t think I’m gonna get it so not gonna waste time

Bermuda

Seems right, Bermuda Triangle murdering people and all.
