Eevee, I was going for Oil as my third for Fire, not Pants - but you going Pants made everything so much easier! 😂 I wasn’t sure how I was going to get Pants. If I had Pants and Line left I think I would’ve gone Clue: Pleated, but not sure. With just Line left, my next Clue was going to be Straight.

Oops!

Swan and Joth as spymasters for next game? Does either of you know how to randomize the words?

Should we be blue this time so as to trade off who goes first? Or maintain colors for the sake of consistency and reducing confusion?

The starting color is randomized. Let's keep the same colors for clarity.

You can start locking in guesses when you get on. This is probably more your cup of tea than it is mine.

Calf

In agreement there.

Well, Straw seem the next level to me. Trying to think for a fourth.

Boom is one of the hardest words in the game to pair with anything I find, and I kind of associate ranches (or westerns where you would see ranches) with dynamite, but it's pretty far-fetched. I don't think passing is a bad play if we get 3 blues here. We'll most likely have an extra guess somewhere later to pick it up once we know more.

Agreed on straw and well, no preference on the order.

OK, so the first few that I would go with are:
BOOM, POOL, PIRATE

Not sure yet on a 4th, but I'll keep thinking on it while I wait to see what you (@ipofanes) think.

Feel free to lock in any of those if you like them as your picks (they are in my preferred order, but only slightly)

ipofanes, since I don't really know the Aida story, can you explain a little more about the connection to DREAM?

I was going for an opera whose plot was leading to as many targets as possible. Not being an opera buff, I had to look up the plots of various operas on Wikipedia. A dream seems to play a role in the first act. I had the musical in mind but was hoping that the plot was sufficiently close to the opera plot. I cannot plame you for your choices.

Agree on your suggestions, including the order.

As for #4: Hmm, you can cannonball into a pool, but also into a well, you need more luck though. I'd rather skip fourth word and save for later.

My best guess for fourth yould be WASHINGTON (colonial wars), but we can save this for later.

OK, I got a "Definitely okay in my book" from Eevee, so I'm going with it:


Realistically, we need to get all 4, and we (probably) know that 2 of the remaining clues are for AIDA.

So if ipofanes cannot find a good clue for 3, he could find something for the other 2, and says XYZ: Infinity. That way we suspect 2 for the new clue and 2 for AIDA and be able to guess for all 4.

For the record, this would not have been A-OK in my book. But I would not have thrown a fit about it, and definitely did not read this before casting the final clues.
