Proper nouns have been legal forever in codenames and I imagine this??

I like what I think is ur 4 letter B Nich, should get very far (perhaps there) especially with other conversation

Same btw

I’d post my 4 letter b in all caps

I like a b4. I think I know the g7 and I prefer the b4.

Not sure what the 2nd b4 is... there is one I have in mind that I don't love.

Yeah I think the b and the g both get them narrowed to 2 words and then they’ll have to suss out which it is

And in that vein, maybe I shouldn’t capitalize the letters of my b?

other ideas on this word?

I guess it's weekend, but would be nice to keep moving a bit

Someone bold something!

boom

Bomb would work, and grenade could be the g7.

Then atom/atomic for A.

Could be blast too, or something else.

I'll come back to it later.

Going back through posts, if A is a "mortal lock", then bomb is the only option (assuming it is for atom/atomic).

So unless you have other ideas, I don't think this needs much discussion.

No, we don’t need much discussion, but I’m going to lay it all out anyway because of Nich’s first post and bolt’s response.

Bomb sounds right except for the fact that it could be Nich’s 2nd 4-letter B (boom and bomb)

Grenade makes sense

Atom/atomic seems likely

4-letter S = …shot?

7-letter M = missile

This also means Nich was considering going with BOOM, which in a vacuum leads me to something more like explosion.

But then bolt doesn’t know what the 2nd B is, so boom + bomb seem unlikely. Maybe it was boom/bang?

What’s the other word? Bomb and explosion maybe?

No one said 6-letter R (rocket), but maybe they just already get like they had enough.

My only concern is the “4 letter B x2” from Nich, but I’ve talked it out enough to not be too worried about it.

Kind of odd that no one is sure of us getting it in one with any of the initial clues, but agreed that the “mortal lock” comment makes this target word very likely bomb.

Agree with all that. I'm a bit concerned I don't know what the S word is, because it seems like it should be something obvious. Shot seems wrong, but I've got nothing better.

Ervin's comment is enough for me anyway. I'm fine to lock in bomb if you are.

bomb

BOOM

S was shell for bombshell

Other b word was blast

And yeah, all caps BOOM is more for explosion than bomb so I went lowercase upon further reflection

Both of those are 5 letters bro.

Round 6:

Cards used: 5

Guessers: d1/filthy


The Board:

M | S | IH | EF | A | C | RG


The target word:
I've pmed to ervin/zeus/bolt/ibd

c7 is a gimme, but i'm sure we can come up with an m/r/g word to get it from a side card

Maybe once everyone’s gone we institute a rule of one potential word per person per round. Maybe it’s just variance, but these all have seemed really easy to get in one because of multiple x-letter word possibilities being discussed. Just a thought. I’m enjoying the game, but it might get boring if we’re never getting past the first round.

Yeah that’s not a bad idea; at least to start the round; prolly should still allow 2-3 proposed a person before bolding tho

Also, some words are harder than others (like doghouse is hard to get in one clue with most letter cards) so a lot of this is variance…we will def take 2-3 turns on many rounds
