Alright, well we got 3 of 6 for Sinatra. Left as likely options are:

Model
Conductor
Cast
.
.
.
Life
Trip

For Pitt, the most obvious is Olive. After that, Conductor seems the logical second - which presents an overlap word with Sinatra. Cast (Brad Pitt) could be a third, and might also present an overlap word. That would leave us one word short on both Sinatra and Pitt, for a total of 8 words.

Remaining options for 1 Pitt & 1 Sinatra:

Button
Turkey
Model
Life
Trip
Nurse
Milk
Line
Garage
Microscope
Litter
Bottle

With Brad Pitt the connection for Cast, he could also fill Model - which may be another double with Sinatra. That would leave us at 7 words and a pass, unless you feel strongly about anything else on that list. Red has 5 with open clues still, so they are technically in striking distance - but 7 & Pass gives Eevee the solo if it gets back around.

Thoughts?

I think this should be clarified, at least irl if someone didn’t know the rules I think it would be fair to tell them. Quoting the rulebook:” English has many homonyms and homo- phones. E. g. night sounds like knight, but these two words don't mean the same thing.
Same-sounding words with different meanings and different spellings are considered different words. So you can't give knight-related clues for NIGHT.”

Basically the clue always has to refer strictly to the meaning of the word - not what it looks or sounds like, how many letters it has or where it’s placed on the board.

I've never been the biggest fan of that rule, but it is the rule.

Generally would agree as in person you’re verbally saying a word, not spelling it... so your partners wouldn’t know what meaning you meant.

Still,

Pitt (4):
- Brad Pitt:
- - Model (Actor)
- - Cast (Movies)
- - Button (Curious Case of...)
- - ??
- ?
- - ??

According to our list for Sinatra, two of those are overlap words {Model, Cast}. That puts us at 5/6 for Sinatra & 3/4 for Pitt, which is a total of six words.

The last Sinatra is probably Conductor (Frank Sinatra Jr), which brings us to 7 words. That leaves one word for Pitt... which... I can find stretch references to Turkey (Ancient TROY located in Turkey, Kivanc Tatlitug is known as the Turkish Brad Pitt, Turkey has reached out to Pitt to help with their ailing tourism industry...), but I would feel more confident passing at that point with one word left to guess.

I think keeping conductor on the list is a good idea too.

Here's what we've gotten so far:

Throne (3): Castle, Bow (assume they got it for us)
Geography (4): Washington, Himalayas, School

OMG How did we miss Turkey for Geography?!

Anyway, it's now also for Vet, I'd say. That, Nurse, and maybe Litter (as in a litter of kittens)

That would leave probably 1 still left for Throne. We had considered Line for that? Though now I also wonder if Litter could be for that too. Isn't that the term for what they carried royalty in?

So let's assume for a second that litter is also for throne. Then we possibly don't have any unknown, but we should probably guess. So we could assume one of these isn't doubled up and then line for throne or line or trip for geography. Or just guess randomly?

I don't know. Let's first try to get the three for Vet, then decide.

I like the way you're thinking. Also, yeah, Turkey was pretty obvious. I'd be down to guess that first. So maybe

TURKEY
LITTER
NURSE

Bottle is a possibility for Veterinarian too, they sometimes bottle-feed sick animals.

Life is another possibility for Veterinarian. Although, they're just as likely to have to deal with the other one.

Yeah, I also consider life, but liked the others better. Let's start with the first two:

TURKEY, then NURSE (otherwise why vet, instead of something like animals)
