s6 - shoots
s5 - presumably is shoot
c4
h10
l5
c5
s9

There’s an H10 and an L5 that work well together but sadly can’t combo without skipping a card.

I’m not sure I know S5 for some reason, but H10 and C4 combo almost certainly get it.

Shoots was word- leaves was 60%

I like an h3 clue

I'm currently drawing a blank.

treehouse seems like its ok but I don't really get how shoots is ever close to tree house- deciduous is kinda better.

And I don't think deciduous and teepee ever go together.

Hut has really thrown me off.

I was thinking it has straw/thatch on top....but thats got nothing to do with the other clues.

deciduous-shoots-hut makes me think of woodlands, gardeners, forest trails

I'm wondering if deciduous has less to do with trees shedding their leaves and if it just means that deciduous is a word that's associated with trees.

Bump

Need to move this forward so it doesn’t die

Next game gonna do reasonable time limits on guesses I think; worst case it means we use a few extra cards and score a bit less; but it’ll be moving faster

Yh for sure.

Here I've got literally no idea.

I'm happy with tree house because it kinda hits some of it- but- I'm really unclear if its right?

In fact:

tree house

Tree house maybe 20%?

Hopefully c5 gets them on track

i don't know what c5 is, and i've lost all confidence in myself as a human living on the earth, let alone my ability to clue for this round

my preference is definitely to clue c5 before DL word though, as off-chance he goes [redacted] first on c5 so good to have two shots if possible

C4 and C5 are both good. I think I lean C5 given the previous clues, but it’s also possible that it will take them in way the wrong direction. I don’t have anything credible for D. I still have my L5, which is by no means a lock for victory.

Maybe C4 with the opening clue is the better combo actually. Hmm…

We can "organize" the clues so maybe we put hut and shoots kinda side by side point up, and then deciduous somewhere below

I don't have much to add haha

I prefer the c4 to the c5. I think combined with shoots, they can't really miss.

I have an l4 and a d10 if they do miss. Neither are great tho.

Imo they should almost forget about deciduous and hut even being clues. They both seemed to get them further away than their first guess.

Yeah, you are right

I like c5 and c4; think I prefer c5 a little safer but maybe I’m wrong there

Def fine if y’all wanna fire c4 instead

The problem I have with the c5 is that while you may think of the c5 when you hear the word, you won't necessarily think of the word when you hear the c5, if that makes sense. The c4 is a much more direct hit imo.
