Maybe 60% there? What do others think?

Also, where do we go from here?

60% seems reasonable. I still like L5, but that might just be a me thing and I have no idea if anyone else even knows wtf I’m referencing.

We can try it

Eventually we may need to get to c5 but we’ll need to figure out an IH clue to get to c

I like an h3 clue

For reference, the board is:

DL | DL | C | IH

H3 then c5 prolly gets it within 1-3 guesses so before we end, but if an L can help first then that’s fine also

I'm having trouble thinking of what the hints could be even knowing what the word is lol

I may be thinking same thing as IBD for l5, a little obscure and doubt they get it off that but perhaps

Absolutely fine with any options here

And yea 60% seems around there, they're on the right track

I feel dumb because I don't know any of these clues you guys are talking about. I've got an L4 and a D10 that I think are decent when combined with shoots.

But if filthy thinks his d9 gets it in 1, let's go with that?

I’m fine with filthy taking a shot

I don’t know what anybody’s word is except c5 but it seems like we have 2 d words and an l word and a c word so we got words for every card and hopefully we can get them there before we use them all

Here's the cards we started with.

S | DL | DL | C | IH

Desiduous is a type of tree that loses its leaves in the fall. I can't believe that the answer is "tree". There have to be better clues than "shoots" if the answer is "tree". Can it be a type of a tree? It's not maple. Syrup would have been the opening clue. Oak? Pine? Could it be something like "Jungle"? I still don't have an answer that pops out at me.

Could it be tree? Surely there's a clue that starts with S, I, or H that's better than "shoots".

Lol I don't think its tree.

Could it be stem?

Let's assume for a moment it's tree. What clue would you give starting with S, I, or H?

Shade
Horticulture

I'm not coming up with any common types of trees that start with any of those letters. Sycamore? Is that a tree?

deciduous is a class of trees. stem is peripheral. i don't see how filthy is 80% if it's stem.

more likely, filthy is 80% confident that one of us knows what deciduous means.

Maybe it's Autumn? Because the leaves fall?

Its potentially implying the falling off of trees

Maybe forest bed or something?

If it's Autumn then the initial S6 clue is "Season". It occurs to me that if you go back in the thread, Nich said he had a "meh" S4 clue. Stem?

The only reason I'm not jumping up and down on "tree" is that Sycamore wasn't the initial clue. Or better still, spruce.

I'm good with forest/forest bed.
