I agree about track. Tell me why the rest makes sense.

You figure track and blade and maybe shark will be said before web...you prolly go a different route (like NRA?)

Why do you figure that?

You might absolutely be right here, but instead of discussing why Blade and Shark are better than Web, you’re just saying that Blade and Shark are better than Web. I get that those two being better than Web support your position, but that doesn’t tell me why.

Spiders hunt. With webs.

I don’t know who hunts with a blade. Hunters use knives, but not to hunt afaik. It’s for field dressing, etc. As hunting knives are a thing, why wouldn’t the clue be “hunting?” Seems hunting could get all the same on our list and hit blade even harder than hunt.

True hunting is better for blade and hunter for shark

Ok, web can be third

So:

Germany
Penny
Paper
Shoot
Autopass

Squirrel
Web
Blade
Shark

And kilt backup for euro if needed

I like how their team waits to debate over their 5th backup word and we forget to leave basic thoughts.

I think our basic thoughts involve helmets, blades & pits.

For cooling obviously frost, but then idk?

Is a cooling lab a thing? My 1st thought for frost + lab is cryogenic.

Yea I'm not sure if it is just that you could cool things in a lab but agree there are better clues

Cooling Pit, Cooling Torch, Cooling Belt - all sound like they could be things but are any of them?

A fan belt is a thing, but probably not a cooling belt...

Yea and the same would go for blade

So I guess our options to yolo on this, to try to return to Pyramid words or to pass

I don't think we can really pass here, even if it might end badly.

Would he give a 2 clue here that included our 2nd or 3rd backup choice from the first clue though? And if so, would that imply not to guess anything

The problem is, blade was already on our list of next 3 pyramid words, so cluing for it again instead of a new word seems off. But maybe he was going for something else entirely with pyramid?
