Are mandarin kiwis a thing?

Cold cell is a weather thing.

I don't hate Nich's Ghostface thing either since it's one word.

There are so many other face things I wouldn't put a ton of stock in it, though.

I kinda like...

Golf
Puppet
Turtle
Kiwi

Yeah, that works. & I think I know their 5.

If you're on board we should always say Kiwi 1st though since that's the one they've been definitively clued away from.

Hmm. Actually that would leave 1 of their 5 words as a word that I don't think should ever be theirs. Going to think about this some more.

So there are 14 words left - 5 red, 4 blue, 4 neutral & 1 assassin.

Neutral/Assasin List of definites (need 5):

Antarctica = Cold + Place
China = Mandarin + Place
Eye = Anatomy + Face
Lip = Anatomy + Face

& then there's 1 more with several options.

Our 4 words should always be within:

Golf
Puppet
Turtle
Kiwi
Ghost
Cell

Their 5 words should always be within (assuming they're list isn't wrong, in which case I'm not too concerned & we'll probably get another turn anyway):

Bench
Block
Golf
Ghost
Puppet
Turtle
Cell
Beard

So Kiwi is in only our list.

Bench, Block & Beard are in only their list.

& Golf, Puppet, Turtle, Ghost & Cell are the overlaps.

Pros & Cons:

Golf - IRTM said we were safe to say golf earlier, but I have no clue why. Maybe place? I don't see how we've been clued off it except maybe a vague sports thing.

Puppet - Could be an anatomy word. Don't think we've really been clued regarding it, unless it's a Catcher in the Rye reference like you mentioned earlier. Holden probably feels like a puppet or something?

Turtle - Turtles have anatomies, & they are cold-blooded. So weakly hit by both cluegivers.

Ghost - Ghostface, ghosts are cold, ghosts may or may not have anatomies.

Cell - I think cold cells are a weather term? But it's missable. Cell could be an anatomy word.

I think Kiwi always has to be ours, & then 3 of the other 5 & I'm not sure which ones to go with :/

I wonder why they said Brick last turn? I guess it doesn't matter. Anyway, back to work. Will wait for IRTM to chime in.

I was more thinking the mandarin orange is a fruit, kiwi is also a fruit connection. It might be weak.

Agree on the 3 that are def ours. Agree on the 2 catcher connections. Not sure what we should do for the 4th though.

I think he probably intentionally chose Mandarin to keep Kiwi on the board.

Which 3 did I say are definitely ours? haha

I think golf, puppet, and turtle are all pretty safe too.

I'll leave the 4th up to you if you want. Your analysis is far better than mine, so I trust you.

I think Kiwi is technically the only "safe" word insomuch as it's the only one the other team has been clued off of.

If our 4 words are...

Golf
Puppet
Turtle
Kiwi
Ghost
Cell

Then their 5 words would be...

Bench
Block
Ghost
Cell
Beard

& they might have been clued off the last 3 of those, so it's all problematic...

I think ghost is usually theirs.

I'm tempted by Cell...

I think we should probably say Kiwi 1st & then reevaluate. I think we need to solve, but I think it's kind of a coinflip on which 3 of the 5 other words it is.

Yeah, I'm comfortable not saying Ghost.

So 3 of Golf/Turtle/Cell/Puppet.

Kiwi

Kiwi is blue.

Shocker

I think I like Golf/Turtle/Cell as our 3, but I'd go Cell, Turtle, Golf in that order.

I'm cool with Puppet if you want to replace one with it. Don't feel strongly about any of the 4. No one has touched Golf as far as I can tell, & Turtle + Cell are both weakly clued off by both, & then Puppet? Dunno, maybe them, maybe us, but it makes more sense to me that it's their word?
