Bomb could be a plant word and pistol could be injury. Let's start with those first three because I'm never getting away from those

Hmm

The ocarina clue feels like it was for Link/Switch now, which seems weird to not have been capitalized.

Bomb/missile/switch would be something like rocket or nuke

Torpedoes are in the water, so maybe octopus is in the mix.

And I guess I’d go with missile over bomb because torpedoes are basically underwater missiles.

So

Missile
Switch
Octopus
Bottles?

I think sound should still be in play. Torpedos are sonar driven, and it could be a valid answer for ocarina.

Something like missile/bomb/sound?

Hmm, I’m feeling mouth quite a bit for ocarina now.

And yeah, The Snow Queen is a famous fairy tale and Frozen was inspired by it.

Is probably where I am. Technically we should be bolding sound here as it was our makeup after pitch, so I’d be fine with that if you prefer. It’s neutral at worst.

It’s been a minute since I brushed up on endgame clueing strategy, but I think the clue would’ve been unlimited if sound was ours. It wasn’t 2 because mouth is bad, unlimited would be “skip the first word in the list and go to the next,” and 3 would be to avoid the top two listed.

Anytime I can remember seeing a torpedo fired in a movie/show it’s been with the flip of a switch. Also, missile/bomb/sound is a boom clue all the way to the bank.

I’m still on missile/switch/octopus

Interesting point. I'm always hesitant to make a guess based on the existence of a better clue, but I'm somewhat convinced by the endgame/unlimited point.

I can imagine a world where it's missile/sound/switch, and nich didn't think of switch for the ocarina clue, and I think that also puts us here. But I can live with

Missile
Switch
Octopus
Pass
Sound

Finnair. Is this a generic reference to Finland, or some event like a bombing?

I don't see anything that jumps out as Finnish to me. So I'm just going to assume there was some Finnair bombing.

Fly, Bomb stand out. But unlimited suggests we can win.

So we could take the theory that we just use our list, plus fly.

Fly, Bomb, pistol, mouth.

Which is 9.
