Faust has also been incredibly stubborn this game. In other news, it's hot in the summer, and water falls from the sky when it rains.

It’s worth noting their last clue was ‘firewall’, and not ‘wall’. This was likely to keep them away from ROCK, SKYSCRAPER, and possibly FIELD.

With ‘Construction’, I think we open SKYSCRAPER. From there, I think we need to look slightly creatively at possible options, given the best options are both gone already, and are Blue anyways.

Cap - Hard Hats are commonly required in Construction.
Pipe - Plumbing, Gas, Electricity - all things in various Construction industries that would use pipe.
Shoe - Steel Toe Boots are often worn on Construction sites.
Field - A place Construction might take place.

I could stretch to Stick, but I think there are better options. I think we should avoid Rock.

We have 4 words, and we need 9 total. We have 4 for ‘Construction’, and 1 unguessed for ‘Tomato’. If those don’t overlap then we’re clued to win. I’m not convinced it’s that easy though. While they only need 3 to win, I think it’s safer for us to assume FIELD is a double word for us - meaning both ‘Construction’ and ‘Tomato’.

I think our strongest 4 are: Skyscraper, Field, Cap & Pipe.

I think pipe is the clear second, but then it gets tough. I’d go field because it works for both clues but i’m open to any of the ones you listed. I don’t think we should pass this turn.

I like Cap over Atlantis for our 4th. Hard Hats are such a staple image of Construction Workers - and while Atlantis is certainly a city under the sea... I’ve just never seen or heard of imagery surrounding it’s construction.

I’m just worried the word isn’t hat but cap, it’s like an extra step, admittedly one is required for atlantis too.

I think we should only guess if we’d feel comfortable trying to win this turn if red. Is that the case?

If not, better to pass and maximize our chance of getting another turn.

It’s problematic that it like 50-50 if field was included in the 4 for construction or not.

If we think it was, i think we should pass now because we can’t win this turn. If it wasn’t, i think we should gamble and shoot for the two remaining construction words.

Field was definitely a double-clued word. We have one word that we’ve seen no clue for.

Awaclus can’t change Cap to Hat on the board - gotta go with what’s there. If I’m clue’ing the word ‘Construction’, and Cap is in our list, I definitely add it to my total. I just don’t think I add Atlantis to a ‘Construction’ clue.
