Okay so we have to get three on this and clearly spy and probably beat (police beat) aren’t either

My gut says pound for c4. Seeing as powder was there’s, after that I’m thinking key = kilo = kilo of c4?

As for the last word, I have no idea. C4 could have been snow and key could have been for manager too. Hence I’m pretty set on those two as our next.

Any suggestions for a Hail Mary third guess seeing as we haven’t been clued for it?

Going on their thinking, Atlantis and Thumb seem like the two words that could be ours, we just have to correctly pick the right one. I don’t see us having cap as that could have been linked easier elsewhere.

They look fine on Firefox and Chrome browsers. I've only recently started the Tapatalk app and I did see just now they all looked red on that.

When you use Firefox, you can directly copy-paste lists and the colors carry over. Also, you can do things like bolding and colors and they show up in real time (like as you are composing the post) as if you were using a word processing program.

It looks like I changed the colors from red to blue. Firefox and Chrome parse it correctly, but Tapatalk and maybe other browsers can't.

Sorry if it has been an issue. Never noticed before. I'll endeavor to avoid it in the future.

I don’t see any colors on Tapatalk, so I just figured you were doing swimmingly, Carl.

Interesting. I'm using the newest Android version and it has colors.

We're only allowed one guess here, right? If so, we shouldn't take about other possibles because it only helps them.

"Spy" seeems far and away the most fitting answer to "covert"

Was seeing the neutral words in black; now in white.

Kinda shocking on the first one!

Advanced clues

There are a couple of advanced options for cluing, generally only used in desperate endgame situations.

A spymaster can say “clue – unlimited” By this, the spymaster communicates that at least some, but not necessarily all, of the remaining words relate to the clue word. In this case, the spymaster’s team can guess as many times as they keep getting correct words. This tactic can be used to help the guessers find a few extra words while also cleaning up unguessed words from previous rounds.

The spymaster can also say “clue – 0” This should indicate to the players that none of the remaining words relate to the clue word. Again, in this case their team can guess as many words as they wish, as long as they keep getting correct answers. This tactic can be used if the spymaster desperately needs the team to guess a few remaining words that can’t be linked by other means.

Covert 0 means none of the words
We can guess unlimited so we have to go for it

Unless you object I think we have to go key and pound and the hail Mary one of the other two

I’m rolling the dice with pound>key>thumb/Atlantis

I’d say do the first two and then you gamble between thumb and Atlantis, I have no preference either way so am fine with either or a literally flip of a coin
