Center - Target is the center?
Court - A gavel is a hammer
Hospital - There's that reflex test?
Nail - Obviously
Orange - Maybe if you're Gallagher
Part - No
Shark - Hammerhead shark?
Skyscraper - No. Construction a better clue
Spot - No
Tag - Usually a little more aggressive action than a "tag"
Tooth - Are those things on the back of a hammer called teeth?

Nail clearly.

Can't get away from hammerhead shark . I really don't like anything else.

Bubbles!!!

Would I be allowed hammerhead as a clue? I looked it up and the word only seems to exist alongside shark

Yes, but you definitely introduce more tooth equity with that clue.

gg, nice clue at the end Dr Z.

I had jet, tooth, spot left, plus the leftover from the Snoop clue. (Star)

Had nothing for those 4. I thought maybe leaving tooth up as a blocker was out best shot.

Maybe I should have said "Cheech" for star + grass

Sun would be a good clue, if not for the space blocker up at the time.

Hammerhead is illegal for nail imo

What is the connection?

You can’t connect just part of a compound word to the word

Good try Carl

After the 4 penguin words I’m not sure how to connect the other 5 in 2 clues

Plaque gets tooth+stain

Maybe that and penguin first leaves us with grass/jet/star and Snoop was in Soul Plane but I never thought of that and not sure how you clue that

Maybe something around ufo for star jet and crop circles for grass? Not sure on blockers tho

Tough board

Fair that makes sense.

When i was googling after the game I couldn't work out if "hammerhead" was the name for the top of the hammer.

Glad I didn't risk it in retrospect.
