May be a 3-way tie for first now

Luckily 2/3rd place were on my team!!

So Jmurder is now 8-7 along with dizzy and nails but I’m 9-6 so still have a 1-game lead on them

Eric and irtm have 6 wins each

Yeah, my plan was 2,2,2,2. I realized I could get the missed word with the third clue, so I made it a 3, which probably put you off. I also thought tortoiseshell cat was a better known phrase.

Molson - Canada, mug
bony - spine, horn (being a bony [if not actual bone] protuberance). I wanted to steer clear of body parts in general.
tortoiseshell - cat, eye (glasses), horn (trying to reinforce this one. Tortoiseshell glasses get called horn-rimmed sometimes)
Commandments - tablet,state

Maybe I should have tried different pairings.

Eric's general approach to clueing:
First two clues are independant, unless I'm clueless.
Third clue with a number will usually be independant. Treat it as such, but you may notice an overlap if you missed a word earlier. Hopefully you will tell when I've overclued or need you to go for a plus 1.
Fourth clue is do the best I can to get every word clued and hope you can retrace my steps.

You guys did well; I didn't leave best trail of breadcrumbs. GG, red, and GG, blue.

Yeah that makes sense then. I just didn’t get why you would reclue for cat when we had both agreed it was our next guess so I thought there had to be a tortoiseshell word left

I'm now 9-6, tied with you for first. I was not on your team this time.

Round 6: Dizzy/JM3/Eric vs Nails/IRTM/Nich

alright boys lets 3-0 these fools so JM and I can take the top spot and Eric can get out of the basement.

I can start spying after work today, or if someone wants to take it earlier feel free.

I’m fine to spy or guess

This is our last round together nails

It’s also my first round with irtm, so we are gonna be teammates for most of the rest of the way

Let's expand our lead, then, before we become opponents!

My thoughts exactly

i have a few minutes gonna rand and get this started at least.

How do Queen and Day fit with apple?

Other possibles, if we look at Apple as in the tech company, could be Link, Stream, and Model.

EDIT: Now I get it -- an apple a day. I like that best for our next guess.

I ded thought very could be neutral, but blue surprises me. Unless it's just such a worth while clue that he went with it knowing it could be guessed.

Not sure about the 3rd? Maybe Mass, but don't love it.

Maybe Queen or Link?
