There’s a word I’d otherwise guess for sandy, but since we can’t end it this turn, pass is the play I believe

Spycraft: 4
Education: 2
Widowmakers: 3
Locations: 2

That’s 11 clued, which means there’s two overlap.

Education is 2 of 2.
Location is 2 of 2.

The final word will need to match either Spycraft or Widowmakers. Although I’m pretty sure I have all 3 for Widowmakers. So...

... I need to walk to get a coffee with Swowl and his pups lol. Will think on my Guess as I walk.

So the problem(ish) that I'm running into, is that for the clue 'Spycraft', the following connections jumped out to me:

Millionaire - Rich Person, James Bond type imagery
Cover - Cover of Darkness, Subtlety
Disease - More of a stretch, but like, gas-filled espionage rings (James Bond type stuff)
Bug - Bug a phone line
PIN - As in Code, something that might be important.
Winter - A lot of Spycraft films take place in Winter
Bermuda - Also a stretch, but I believe there was a Bond film that took place there.
Plot - Espionage Plot
School - It's something that's learned?
Teacher - It's something that's taught?
Log - Spy's might keep logs/notes.
Berlin - Germany is the setting of many an American Spycraft Movie.
Arm - Arm a bomb.
Bell - Alarms (something you don't WANT, but might be concerned about)

Now, some of those are better options than others, certainly. My top 4 at the start of the game were:

Bug, Cover, Plot, Arm

However, Berlin was a close follow, and with Cover coming up Neutral, I could've seen subbing Berlin in for the fourth...

Except... I don't think Berlin was INTENDED for the 4th, as I think the 4th is left unguessed.

My list of unguessed possibilities: Millionaire, PIN, Winter, Bell

Bell again, I think, would've been clued with Education. So I'm going to pass on that.

That brings me to Millionaire, PIN and Winter.

Spycraft... I don't think I -really- like Winter here. It's a stretch, and doesn't super fit anything else that's been given. PIN/Millionaire is really close. Neither have me concerned about the opposing 'Sandy' clue...

Ugh.

I should go with Miliionaire. I really should.

The other reason I should have gone Millionaire instead of PIN (although I'm not changing) is that it's an outside fit for Widowmakers as well... but not gonna' do it!

Good guessing Eevee! I was so glad you got Yard early on - that was the one I was finding hardest to link with anything else.

On turn 3 I considered "Rolling: unlimited" to clue Pin and Pipe, hoping you would pick up Orange (from "Sandy") and Board (from "Isotropic"). But looking at their words I couldn't see them getting Berlin, Forest and Bolt in a single turn, so I thought it would be ok to play safe.

Didds, bad luck, I think your words went much closer to the Winter assassin than mine did. Very tense, close game.

Eevee, what was the other one you were considering for Sandy at the end?

My intentions were:
Sandy: Orange, Bermuda, tenuously Yard.
Isotropic: Server, Log, tenuously Board. Bug was already red by then. Couldn't do "Goko" because Giant (and Teacher) got implemented in Goko IIRC.
Dutch: Orange, Pipe
Planned to do Bulletin for Pin and Board
