plaintiff - 0

At a comedy show that's about to start. Will look at this later. Are we trying to win here or just get 1?

I haven't looked at it yet, but depending on how it looks, we should try to win.

Here's where we were before. Kinda feel like he went plaintiff to keep Thief & get rid of Suit, but there has to be more to it than that?

Plaintiffs File a lawsuit, so that's gotta go. In England the King or Queen is the Plaintiff in criminal cases. Not sure if insanity is going there or not...

So Greenhouse is still good from this afaik.

Greenhouse - Should be good
Thief - Think we're getting clued toward this because it isn't lawsuit or litigant or something

Pipe - Next word in POE I don't see any connection to.
Astronaut - Next after that.

Crown - Somewhat concerned about this, but not sure if insanity is thinking about that? & it wasn't capitalized, so might still be good?
Roll - Plaintiff is a roll in a case, so throws some shade on this.
Scroll - Scroll seems like an old-schooly legal thing.

These should probably not be ours by now, but could be in some order...
Spurs
Einstein
Pin
File
Suite
Bed
Lace
Contract
Foam
Hit
Ball

I feel that the 1st 4 should be right, then after that it gets dicey as it relates to the last 3.

Crown - WWII, sports & possibly plaintiff connection. I should probably stop having this toward the top of my list, although they've also been clued away from it.

Roll - I suppose this could have some connection to all of those, too, plus a delicious role should be soft...regardless, it's already blue, so I should probably just take it off the list, huh?

Scroll - WWII & old school legal type word. I kinda like it better than Crown or Roll at this point.

Spurs - I dunno, he's a poster in our forum, so I don't think insanity would miss the sports connection, but who knows?

Einstein - I'm pretty sure he has a fairly strong WWII connection, but not that big on history.

Pin - Pull pin from a grenade, pin for golf & bowling, can hear a pin drop. Dunno?

Suit - Lawsuit, Plaintiff's wear suits. Should be out out.

Bed - Beds should be soft, but I guess this isn't as hard disqualifying as some of the ones above it?

Lace - Also soft. See e.g. bed.

Contract - Sports contracts, contracts are often involved in lawsuits, WWII probably some contracts.

Foam - Was neutral. Should probably not be on the list.

Hit - Sports

Ball - Sports

So I like Scroll 5th best.

Then...idfk.

Probably Crown 6th because I think he clues us away from it harder if it was bad because it was on top of my list, & I think he capitalizes Plaintiff if he was thinking to knock that one off for that reason...

7th word should probably be one of Spurs, Bed or Lace. How soft is lace? What was he trying to accomplish with the clue at the time? Should go back & check...

(really I'm at work at 7 pm on a Saturday because I should be writing deposition questions, but meh :/)

This was what I said after the soft clue...

Astronaut - doesn't seem like it's come up either way
Ball - No. Sports.
Bed - Maybe not. Soft.
Contract - Probably not. Sports.
Crown - Could be ours.
Einstein - WW2?
File - Could be ours.
Foam - Probably not. Soft.
Greenhouse - Could be ours.
Hit - Probably not. Sports.
Ink - Maybe?
Lace - Probably not. Soft.
Pin - Maybe not. Sports.
Pipe - Maybe?
Roll - Maybe? Soft?
Scroll - Maybe? WWII?
Spurs - Maybe not? EPL team?
Suit - Maybe? WWII? Soft?
Thief - Could be ours.

He had to be cluing for something. Bed/Lace/Foam seems most likely?

Maybe our remaining words are hard? Let's look at the 1st 6 I have in mind...

Greenhouse - made of glass
Thief - hardened criminal
Pipe - lead pipe
Astronaut - gotta be tough to go through them g's
Scroll - meh
Crown - metal

So maybe the 7th word is just Spurs? But that's also a Rodeo word, not just the soccer team...

Is he trying to pull another word back in by going plaintiff? I mean, a Defendant could put a hit on someone, & hits aren't soft, but cluing WWII + sports if Hit is ours is a bit tough to fathom...

I think Spurs is my best guess for the 7th, but I don't like it :/

Greenhouse
Thief
Pipe
Astronaut
Scroll
Crown
Spurs

If you agree, you can bold as much of that as you feel like.

Spurs is 99% out because sports. Even if he wasn't thinking of Tottenham, there is that NBA team in San Antonio.

Greenhouse
Astronaut

We'll start here.

Lol me

I think I like Lace then...

Greenhouse
Astronaut

I'm not super crazy about any of these, but I like everything else significantly less.

Scroll
Pipe
Thief

Scroll
Pipe
Thief

They seem fine to me...

Let me go over this list by myself for a second without looking at yours.

Ball - Sports
Bed - Soft
Contract - Sports
Crown - WW2
Einstein - WW2
File - Plaintiff
Hit - Sports
Lace - Soft
Pin - Sports
Spurs - Sports
Suit - Soft

They all have reason to be eliminated, some obviously stronger than others. I honestly think suit might be my favorite.

I think my order is:
Suit
Crown
Lace
Contract
Hit
Einstein
Spurs
Bed
File
Ball

I changed my mind.

I think I like bed better...

Crown
Bed
Bottles

Maybe
