Thanks for updating, for some reason I thought I had done that already.

You kind of skipped a couple steps before coming with sultry 6... like telling me my answers were correct haha.

Yeah I have a list on a Google doc which I updated, and I think I just brain-farted into thinking I'd updated the thread as well.

Thoughts coming soon

So I've got:

1 pucker
2 taper
6 sultry, 2 of which have overlap

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amazon - Amazonian women are sometimes portrayed in sultry ways I guess
Blacksmith - Could forge something tapered
Concert - no
Contract - no
Fever - maybe some sultry equity? things getting hot, reaching a fever pitch, etc
Ghost - no
Model - pucker + sultry
Mount - no
Musketeer - tapered bayonet a possibility
Night - seems likely for sultry
Peanut - no
Princess - leaning model for pucker, but some sultry equity. Though I think Carl goes pucker 3 if we have both princess and model
Quarter - no
Rail - some tapered equity + sultry (rail = pole)
Tattoo - no?
Tornado - taper equity

pucker - model, princess
taper - blacksmith, musketeer, rail, tornado, model?
sultry - amazon, fever, model, night, princess, rail

Don't particularly love Amazon and I don't think Princess is likely given that it would've been pucker - 3... so clearly need to take another look.

I am always guessing Model so might as well get that out of the way

Ok, so I should have 2 taper and 5 sultry with one remaining overlap.

I feel good about Fever and Night for sultry. I'm also pretty confident that Tornado is the non-overlap taper word.

Oof, I might've landed on Princess out of necessity but not sure I was ever guessing Contract

I saw right away "hot" (in my mind) could potentially work for 5 or 6 words, if not for their degree blocker. Decided to hope they would get it out of the way somehow.

Pucker 2 - was just a bad clue, sorry. Somehow completely forgot about the kissing angle. In a vacuum, it wasn't too disastrous, but it set us down the wrong path. Was going for lemon and contract (as in to shrink)

Taper - 3 Trying to link needle + tornado and contract (again in the shrink sense, tapering gets smaller on one end) I knew it was weak. Didn't think about degree at all, but it was reasonable. At least it got degree off the board....

Turn three and the situation was pretty hopeless. I still had the "hot" thing in my pocket, but saying "hot unlimited" had no chance of working, becasue you were never saying contract. I was one word short.

I thought "sultry" worked almost as well, trying to use it both in the "very hot and humid" and "sexy" sense of the word.

Model, princess (sexy) Amazon (Jungle, hot + humid) Blacksmith (forge is hot as ****) Fever (hot) and Tornado (develop in hot and humid places)

Then I just had to hope you realized there was a non-sultry taper word. Basically, we were drawing rather thin.

I did realize you might say night for sultry. Had to try anyway

I feel like I've lost my touch for spymastering.

gg prip

Man I didn't even think of sultry in terms of weather. Definitely would've gotten Amazon and probably blacksmith since it was on my taper list.

No worries Carl, looks like a hard list.

We'll get an in the next two games
