easy next guess is frog, as reptiles and amphibians are sorta buddies

but let's look at all the words

campsite is also reasonable for path

no idea what other clue is even close to anaconda
ok, i like this more if true

is it something spurs would know about?

this would be unfortunate, though

wouldn't spurs be more likely to try and pick up two different words with the anaconda clue than he had in mind for the path clue, since the only real way we can win right now is by running the table this turn?

if campsite was meant for both path and anaconda, then we'd be blind guessing on the last word

if it's boa and frog, why not just say reptiles or something instead of specifically anaconda.

Anaconda appears to be an Australia-specific camping store, unless I'm missing something?

also, i'm pretty sure i know the other one that xander was going for with compact, so if we look like we're in danger of guessing it, i'll speak up

Don't understand the anaconda clue at all.

Agree with the "if boa/frog why not reptile/amphibian/snake"

Maybe it's about the Anaconda movie? (I didn't see it)

let's take a look at the remaining words under the theory that there's at least one "anaconda" word out there and potentially a separate "path" word

Fizz -- path no, anaconda no (the anaconda cocktail isn't carbonated)

Houseboat -- path no, anaconda no

Personal -- path no, anaconda no

Campsite -- path yeah-ish, anaconda yeah (but probably only if he googled it and was assuming we'd do the same)

Crow -- path not really, unless he was going for "as the crow flies" (is that possible?), anaconda no

Silhouette -- path no, anaconda no

Popsicle -- path no, anaconda no

Frog -- path no, anaconda yeah-ish

Helicopter -- path not afaik, anaconda no (but apparently there's a video of an anaconda attacking a helicopter? that can't be real)

Lawn -- path sooooorta but not really, anaconda not unless you live in deepest darkest Peru

Coal -- path not afaik, anaconda no

good list. to me campsite > frog cause of better words to describe frog/boa logic. also anaconda is verrrry specific. why not just snake? referring to movie, camping brand or anaconda vs helicopter seems like only reason to be specific with anaconda.

In my opinion, we should either guess 2 or 0 here.
Codenames - Game Thread Quote
06-14-2016 , 01:34 PM
Think there are two obvious ones
Codenames - Game Thread Quote
06-14-2016 , 01:36 PM
so my thought is:

possible "path"
campsite
crow

possible "anaconda"
campsite
frog

campsite seems to have the most equity one way or the other

White/Chick/Path/Anaconda

Clothing/Garfield/Compact

blue only has two left, so if we guess zero we have to bank on there not being a clear/gettable connection between his two remaining words

Right, which is why I'm saying two or zero.

Guessing one and then passing helps them more than us.
