Ah sorry forgot about this

Can't really see anything for hamster apart from Mouse, maybe Pitch as in it makes a high pitched sound? Pretty sure hamsters don't have spots. They have a face and a mouth, I like face better because hamster is a popular choice for face painting

Can't win this turn anyway so i'll pass

Face
Opera
England
Iron
Smuggler

Not got a clue what other 2 Shanghai words are.. England + Opera perhaps but meh

Mouse is red

Hopefully the fact I left a lot of words on the board helps us out here

gunrunning - 2

smuggler

I think the other one has to be iron, but going to think about it a bit more.

I don't really see anything else...

Iron

Iron is red

Ooooh we have a chance

Bump for eleanor

New list
Pest - 3
picnic - 3
Shanghai - 4
aquaman - 4
Hamster -2
gunrunning - 2




England
Face
Fire
Knight
Mouth
Mug
Nurse
Opera
Paper
Pitch
Spot

Worm
Cricket
Disease
China
Skyscraper
Mouse
Iron

Date
grass
table
Bond
Atlantis
Sub
Smuggler

Rook-2

Rook is a chess piece (a.k.a castle I think?) and also a bird i'm sure

I have to assume Iron was a Shanghai word, same with Knight? As I can't see how either of them connects to Hamster at all, can't see how they connect to Shanghai either tbh but I know next to nothing about the place

Pest -3
Worm
Cricket
Disease

Shanghai - 4
China
Skyscraper
Iron?
Knight?

Hamster - 2
Mouse
?

Rook - 2
Knight
?

So I need a word that connects to both rook and hamster..

Well let's do Knight first make sure that's correct then will have a think

Red

England - Castle rather than Rook would be a better clue for Knight + England, no hamster connection I can see but rook is literally a castle in chess
Face - Face + Knight = hood, does have hamster connection however and slight rook connnection as birds have faces
Fire - Fire + Knight = Weaponry? No hamster/rook connection I can think of
Mouth - Mouth + Knight = ?, slight hamster connection, slight rook connection
Mug - Mug + Knight = ? no hamster/rook connection
Nurse - Nurse + Knight = Job? no hamster/rook connection I can see
Opera - Opera + Knight = probably some sort of play, no hamster/rook connection
Paper - Paper + Knight = ? very small hamster/rook connections meh
Pitch - Pitch + Knight = black? no hamster/rook connection I don't think
Spot - Spot + Knight = ? still don't think hamsters have spots.. can't see any rook connection

One of:

England
Face
Mouth
Paper

Think there are better 2 clues for Knight + England so ruling that out, hood is a better clue for Face (hood covers your face and Knighthood is a UK thing which I expect Eleanor to get), paper is a huge stretch so think I have to go for Mouth and hope it's right

Neutral

Damn GG, what was our last word?

flame - 1

Yeah fire was my next guess, but I fell in love with the idea of Prometheus being an awesome smuggler + fire clue & thought iron was a slightly more direct clue with less of an alternative option.

GG all, what was our last word?

So yeah, surprised you hadn’t heard of the amazing movie Shanghai knights and that threw me off.

Hamster was for mouse and spot, should have gone pest 4 for mouse but didn’t think you’d pick disease that quick.

Also thought in chess pieces start on their spot, and knight and spot is pretty much impossible to
Clue for. Malta should work but you would have said England, also tried to think of a knightrider clue but couldn’t think of
Any

I would have guessed Spot, but haven't really looked at it & have no real clue haha

Ah yeah completely forgot about that film now it's been mentioned I can remember it lol

Yeah don't think I was ever saying Spot there

GG all

Yeah once you get smuggler for gunrunning then you think why did I say gunrunning instead of just trafficking or a bunch of other options? The answer is because you fire a gun (or gunfire).


You not seeing Atlantis hurt a little but we recovered. He faces a smuggler in the movie.

I wanted to go with things like ship or pirate or stowaway but iron for ship and spot (x marks it) for pirate were blockers

And yeah, Prometheus is a great clue that I overlooked

Well, trafficking isn't a great iron clue? Had it narrowed to the material guns are made of & the things gun do. Didn't see a good reason to go with the latter over the former. Nbd, though, good cluing & gg.
