Hmm, why don't I know what the b5 that everyone's talking about is?

I wanna go for c2, which should be an absolute lock.

When it hits you you’ll be like “oh yeah”

0 chance they don’t know b5 and don’t associate it with target

Not sure what c2 is; I know of A c2 but it def doesn’t link just to target but to many possibilities

I can't imagine how there's another c2, but the c2 I'm thinking of hits exactly 1 word.

But whatever, just bold the t6, idc.

Ah ok

C2 is like b5

I guess it’s like 90% 1 shot and 10% (maybe less?) a whiff and regroup, but yeah I like it

One clue is better than 2

I know the c2 that D1 is thinking of, but I'm wondering if it's only obvious to me because I already know the target word. If I was one of the guessers would it definitely come to me? I'm not sure.

Yeah that’s my 10% case

But I think 90% is good enough that we go for the 1 shot

Dang it, I hoped they bolded the other one cause always easier to figure out a 2 letter word

With that idk what this is, continental? Not CNN, some kinda chemical element?

The CN Tower is that tall pointy building in Toronto. That’s the only thing related to CN I can think of.

Nich said C2 is like B5. And consensus was that B5 is a lock.

He also said T6 gets us there before B5.

It can’t be skyscraper or building or something, because B4 for Burj would’ve been mentioned. And T5 for tower.

And I don’t know the periodic table, so if there’s a CN I don’t know what it is.

Given everything you said imo...

It's probably tower

Idk the other words but you knowing an immediate thing for it makes me think that has to be it... ... Unless there's a specific use but right now I think the word is tower

Maybe. If it’s tower, then what are B5 and T6?

This seems like it means B5 is a name of something, like CN is a name of something. What B5 can you think of that’s a tower or tall building?

t5 comes to mind

there is a t10->b10 combo that basically always gets there but prolly nobody will guess this combo

t5->b10 also works tho, should always get there, and has much more 1-word bink equity
