Codenames 4v4 LONG LIST - Page 124 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

yea i don't really know how to order some of these - looking at my list I think alphabet influenced it which isn't good

i guess dog should be the biggest lock to me with specifically using hot

we were guessing oil anyway from last clue but that makes sense too

i think torch/africa/dog in any order as top 3 feels best

i probably put match too high on my initial list. maybe below air is better. air feels like it's just going to be right even tho i think iron/india fit better

actually maybe india isn't the strongest fit if it wasn't paired with china. even though there could be a couple reasons for that

Lotta options here.

Africa - hot continent
Air - hot air
Dog - hot dog
Draft - fire backdraft?
India - hot country
Iron - irons in the fire
Link - hot link (sausage)
Match - fire source
Oil - gets hot in the pan, also fits with previous clue
Press - hot off the press
Roulette - hot gambler?
Thief - stolen goods are considered hot
Torch - fire

My list is probably:

Dog
Torch

Plus Oil and Nut/Rose from last clue.

Overall order:

Dog
Torch
Air
Oil

Looks like 6 events to me
concert, crash, draft (sports draft), match (soccer or other sport), play and wake

If I was to order them......

concert
play
match (seems more event-like than wake)
wake
draft
crash

a few could be tricky with multiple meanings (play/wake/draft/match)

I think we also have 1 or 2 Leprechaun words left.
1 if light was a double for Leprechaun/eclipse, and 2 if not

our order was
millionaire
change
shoe
grass

Yeah, concert/play/match look to be the clear top 3 here.

D1 and Born... you think we need 2 or 1 make-up words. I am thinking 2...

And your thoughts in the 3 event words, Born....

I think 2 for sure, and we have no reason to think our list is bad at this point...

I agree with 2 make-up words. Your order for events seems okay, I don't really see why he goes events over event though, do we have any clue about that?

Not sure about events vrs event, but for some reason I can't explain I would like crash better if this was event. Singular seems like it could be medical, or clinical, or plain just cover a wider range of things. Maybe the plural is a hint that they also have something in common, in this case a seated gathering to watch something.

concert
play
match
millionaire
change
autopass

wake, draft, crash for events
shoe, grass for Leprechaun

Pretty sure the plural is just to make sure we say actual events, rather than stuff like bugle or whatever.

Also, bump.
