Drop and cell? Not sure about either one honestly. And I don't have a good idea what the other luck word could be, maybe bridge?

Cell, for sure.

What is your reasoning for drop? I feel like Center shouldn't be ours if Cell and Drop are ours, btw. Call - 3 hits Center, Drop, Cell

For jackpot:
Ball - lottery drawn with balls
Bridge - could work with Luck, but feel there's a better clue for Bridge/Luck
Drop - I can't say why exactly but I don't hate it combined with Luck

For tap:
Cell - obvious, imo
Drill - kinda related to tapping a keg
Oil - similar to above, could see it referencing 'tapping' into the ground to get Oil...could be a cork word tho
Ball - in golf/billiards a tap-in is a thing, could probably see using the term tap in other ball sports

Let me think on these for a bit, feel free to leave some thoughts

Like drops coming out of a tap. I'll admit it's pretty weak.

I don't really like ball for jackpot. You can get luck and ball with bingo much more clearly.

I'm good with cell/drop. Not really in love with anything after cell tbh.

Also not really in love with any makeup word for jackpot, but imo bridge or ball seem like the only options by process of elimination. none of the other words really make sense imo. we could totally just guess 2 and pass if they are correct since we can't win here anyway. What do you think?

Sorry, I thought your point about luck/ball was on point, and completely forgot about it when replying. I think Cell/Drop/Bridge is the guess.

oh no

I don’t know why I’m having a hard time understanding why cell was regarded as a slam dunk for tap.

followed - 2

So, tail is right. Oil is not right. I’m thinking war isn’t right either, but I don’t know what else goes with mafia.

And why it’s in past tense

I missed it at first but someone may tap a cell phone

Guess spymaster also missed it

N-1 so oil is ours

Not unlimited so war isn’t ours

Tail is ours for followed (and likely mafia)

Yeah, I miscounted and thought we only needed two.

Oil
Tail
???

I legitimately have zero idea what the 2nd followed word could be.

Australia - not seeing it
Ball - cotton tail, cotton ball; nah
Bermuda - not seeing it
Bridge - followed a bridge like followed a path? meh
Center - not seeing it
Drill - you followed the coach when doing drills? meh
Drop - don't see it
Kiwi - don't see it for fruit or New Zealand
London - don't see it
Slip - slip + tail = evade so not this


not seeing this at all right now

Do you know anything about the game bridge? Could follow be a term used?

I thought about drill too, but that seems really bad.

I guess now we have to do the ol’ “best clue” thing for each remaining word + tail.

Good god, tail is an atrocious word to connect to this board.

Hmm, maybe drop? Like someone is followed to a drop point? Also kind of connects to mafia/crime.

In music, the bridge can follow the chorus.

it's been a bit since I played bridge, but I think you'd just use the word follow, which also works for tail

I don't know of a specific term 'followed' that is distinct from 'follow' in bridge
