kinda strange to get a 2 clue on a do or die turn needing 4 unless we were on the right track to begin with - which we clearly were with Atlantis....but what do we do now?
I’m familiar with n-1, but it doesn’t apply here because we didn’t get an n-1 clue. I don’t think the 2-clue is strange. It’s not an unlimited clue because he wanted to make it clear that he has now clued all eight words. There’s no upside clueing unlimited here with four words left. We have to keep guessing until we’re done, so it’s more beneficial to tell us how many words specifically hit stabbed. This is especially true if we hadn’t yet mentioned those words. If we’d lucked into naming all our remaining words, stabbed - unlimited would’ve been fine.
These are all the words we mentioned before this turn:

we can do stuff like Antarctica/Atlantis for the location angle
we can do stuff like Foot/Boot/Drill/Crown for the soccer angle
we can do stuff like Bug for the rainforests angle
Hospital somehow stuck out to me too lol

Amazon - Ours (Brazil)

Foot - Red
Boot - Red

Crown - Red
Bug - Neutral
Hospital - Unguessed (clued off red w/ building - 0)
Skyscraper - Unguessed (clued off red w/ building - 0)
Mug - Ours (Coffee)
Wake - Ours (Coffee)
With Point for the stabbed clue, we now have six. We have to assume we’ve been clued for all of our words (Brazil - 4, coffee - 2, stabbed - 2). We need one more for stabbed and one more for Brazil, and there are no overlaps.
Centaur - no
Comic - no
Cricket - no
Drill - stabbed?
Hospital - stabbed? MUCH better clues get us to Point/Hospital that all but eliminate this for me
Part - stabbed? Unmentioned previously, but as I pointed out, there’s a better clue in finger - 2; of course, not everyone thinks of the same “better” clues, and I know I’m capable of missing better clues when I’m spying
Ray - stabbed? Stingrays have barbs/stingers, which seems like two better clues than stabbed, but maybe?
Shadow - no
Skyscraper - Brazil? There are skyscrapers in Brazil, which is about all I’ve got. But connecting Amazon/Antarctica/Atlantis/Skyscraper seems tough, especially give his the rest of our list has shaped up; that combined with red being hard-clued off of it makes me think this is ours
So, I’m at Skyscraper being our last Brazil word. If you agree, go ahead and bold and then we can talk more about the final stabbed word.
