and actually, once you cilck the button and get the word, just delete it from column H so that I don't accidentally see it; i'll add it back after the round

For some reason I can’t get the button to work in the Sheets app, so someone else will need to rand the target word.

Just pick a random number 1-440 and then go to that row in A and use that word

The button uses a script so maybe you don’t have access to that

I made it so it won’t choose any word in H so no dupes, but with only 26 words max in a game, probably not too important

I’ll do a regular Rand button later as well, but for now just randomly pick one yourself as long as it isn’t student or orchestra

7-letter word for P that’s not terrible that would for sure get the target on the B card with another 7-letter word.

I wonder if we have the same 7 letter P...I can think of a B word but would think they could figure it out by the 2nd guess at latest

Could be, just saying the P and B combo is basically a guaranteed get.

If it's the same B I'm thinking of we could accomplish the same thing with G

My G would be for 8 letters, similar to B 7 letters, I'm sure we could get the same idea with other letters too

Idk I'm thinking ibd and I may have a different P, I could see getting it in 1 and don't see it taking more than 2

Am I correct that once the P card is used, the RG card also comes off the board?

no, only the card used gets taken off the board

the only way another card gets taken off the board is if you take one of the 5 middle cards instead of one of the two side cards; skipping cards to clue from an inside card does remove all the ones you skipped

so if we keep only using one end card to get the word each time, we could get 26 points with our 26 cards...very unlikely, but that's the top score possible

Gotcha.

I think I know all the words you guys are talking about, but maybe not with what ervin is saying.

7 letter P word seems best to me, but I doubt it gets guessed in 1.
