I don't know who that is. Sounds like a superhero type of character? Shadow and cloak come to mind based on the name.

Eevee (or anyone) are you on a computer? Can you repost the board so it’s handy?

So, we ordered a new router this morning (thanks distance learning!) and it’s a Nighthawk. I’m not sure Awa would be thinking if that, but beyond shadow and cloak, web is a possibility.

How about Shadow first?

I'm fine with guessing web if you want to. Soldier comes to mind as another possibility, though I'd pass over guessing it.

Another idea is plane, although I don’t have a concrete reason...just seems like a nighthawk. I think web is too far afield. I literally would have had no idea about that connection if I hadn’t been in need of a router today.

Otherwise, pass?

I hope you're ok with my going ahead, scola. Not much ambiguity here!

Hmm...

We need to get 4 more (with one being Roads); they need 3 more (one of which is nighthawk).

We probably don't get two more turns, but we have to assume we'll get one more. Which means either:
• a clue for 4 (seems unlikely given the previous clues)
•  a clue of 3 and we'll need to figure out this other Roads word.
• a clue of unlimited, meaning we'll have to take a random guess for at least 1 word and get the Roads clue.

Since we're unsure, I suggest we take the risk of guessing now and getting two shots at it.

If you agree, this is what you said previously:

I don't like nail, ship or switch. Ring is a possibility if that's another way to say beltway.  Let's pass for now.

I agree that switch is not great and I'm not convinced on ring (though in addition to a beltway there are also rotaries). I still think it could be nail or ship, but not necessarily better than saturn.

I think if I had to choose, I'd go ship > saturn > nail > ring > switch

SO I'm ok with either ship or saturn this turn, and if it's wrong and we get another turn we can try the other next turn. (unless you prefer nail to ship)

Okay, so we have two words and one guess left so we can't end it this turn. I'd pass and try to win next turn.
