9 words so these are the last 3, right?

Mine and pan are the most obvious

I have a few meh candidates for the third but I don’t want to bias yours so I’ll wait for you for the third one

Mine and pan are 100% tho

We def got folder and mammals so no overlap with those clues

I think gold is perfect for pan and mine and he may have had to stretch for 3rd because he had no choice but to give us a 3 word clue...so I’m ok with a bit of a stretch for the last word

I have 3 candidates that I can kinda see but bleh, hoping you feel strongly about one of those same 3

Mine

Pan - used to sift for gold
Washer - washpan

Spot - spot gold; treasure island reference

Litter
Cell
Fan
Park
Piano
Shadow
Whip

I think pianos frequently have gold lettering

mine

mine is red

streets littered with gold


perhaps a "cell" homophone

pan

red

So I liked cell (tho can’t place exactly why), piano and spot


I hate litter and don’t like park, shadow; can’t see choosing fan or whip, either

Spot for x marks the spot where the buried treasure is prolly is the best fit

However, I still think he had to stretch bc no other option so it could be piano and he gives the same clue

I wonder if treasure would be better for this trio tho since it gets spot and you still mine and pan for treasure (gold and diamonds and gems)

But gold is 100% on the other 2 so maybe he thought it was best to be super clear on those and we’d likely get to spot as well with gold

Washer has nothing to do with gold

cell block, block of gold?

I’m 90% spot, 10% piano at this point

treasure might clue whip (indiana jones, video games)


is a Golden Fan a thing?

perhaps someone could be a fan of Golden State...

spot fits the best.


but let's see a minute...

I'm okay w/ Spot

spot

spot is...blue

gg

If I didn't know the list, I would also have thought spot for the 3rd gold word based on gold being valued by "spot price".

Plus how hard it is to clue for spot...

Pan
Mine
Unicorn
Whale
Park
Kangaroo
Knife
Square
File
March
Spot
Needle
Forest
Ray
Octopus
Mouth
Copper
Washer
Litter
Whip
Cell
Shadow
Piano
Switch
Fan

sick poison clue JM

The 6th venom word was spot.

Because when snakes & such use their fangs, they leave marks like this:



I figured whip was a legit problem, since a whip snake is a real thing, & some of them are even venomous, but never thought knife would get picked before whip. Really should have just made it a 5 clue. You guys did a great job working through the primary 5.

Logrolling is basically marching in one spot on a chopped down piece of forest.



I was scared of switch, though, since you switch directions when trying to knock the other person off. If I hadn't gotten over-aggressive & given them knife, I wouldn't have tried to clue for all 3, but figured you guys would at least get forest & I could clue the last 1 or 2 next turn regardless, & didn't want to risk there being a good connection between those 3 red words I wasn't thinking of.
