I like, in order:

Face (wear masks)
Opera (traditional theater masks)
Football (wear masks)

And then... I’m not as sure.

I think Change is possible (you should change your mask often, masks are a big change to the world lately), as is sock (a mask for your feet? you can make COVID masks out of socks)

Actually maybe Cat? Catwoman, Halloween masks, Cats sometimes have a mask-like coloring pattern.

Anyway, let's lock in Face, then Opera

That means we have unlimited guesses, right? Or do we just have 1?

From the rulebook (https://czechgames.com/files/rules/codenames-rules-en.pdf):

Quote
You are allowed to use 0 as the number part of your clue. For example, feathers: 0 means, "None of our words relate to feathers."

If 0 is the number, the usual limit on guesses does not apply. Field operatives can guess as many words as they want. They still must guess at least one word.

If you're not sure why this is useful, don't worry. You'll figure it out.

No no no no, he said "King: 0" so ruler and princess are obviously not picks. He doesn't want us guessing anything related to king.

K -

Words we can rule out based on King clue: Ruler, Princess, Washington?,

Words we can probably rule out based on Mask clue: Football? I think that is probably blue. And it could be international football (like soccer).

Leaves us with....
Stock - international stock - YES
Gold - could be, but reach - MAYBE
Diamond - blood diamonds and shit - YES
Brush - NO
Cat - NO?
File - Again, maybe to like a file that covers international stuff... but a stretch - MAYBE
Point - ***This somehow could be something, I just can't put my finger on it*** - MAYBE
Sock - lol they wear socks in different countries? - NO
Button - International Button Issue is a news term. but a reach - MAYBE
Change - You go through changes as you go from country to country - MAYBE
Mammoth - Because the earth was all one big land mass when they were around? - NO?
Dream - NO?
Church - There are international church groups. Actually a fairly common thing - MAYBE++
Copper - I mean yeah... but also a reach - MAYBE
Earth - We missed this first one out. Earth and international has an obv tie together - YES
South - I mean same as "earth" but more of a reach - MAYBE


So not in order, but imo the categories should be:

YES WORDS - STOCK, DIAMOND, EARTH

MAYBE/YES WORDS - SOUTH, COPPER, CHURCH, GOLD

MAYBE/NO WORDS - CHANGE, BUTTON, POINT, FILE

NO WORDS - DREAM, MAMMOTH, SOCK, CAT, BRUSH

We need 6 more from INTERNATIONAL, I think the order should be (unless you have another top word pick you wanna look at):

Earth/Stock first (order IDK about). Followed by Diamond (unless you got something better). Possibly followed by Church.

The only thing I am hesitant about is the Diamond part. I do not think pasta would guess us 2/3 between GOLD/COPPER/DIAMOND, and I do not think they go with the word INTERNATIONAL, if it is 3/3.
That being said it could totally be 0/3 lol and Diamond is not one...

Either way I think Church should move up actually into a yes.

Earth -> Stock -> Diamond/Church/South? You like anything outside of that?

only need 2/3 of Diamond/Earth/South... just threw South in because it is the only other maybe word I had listed. I like it the least of the options.

lol in case you wanted to WIFOM some more with this...

Original post of word considerations back when he originally gave INTERNATIONAL 6 was; Stock, Ruler, Football, Gold, Diamond, Earth, Opera, Princess.

We correctly got 2/4. He gave a hint for 6. If he was trying to ISO us out that is the other 4 right there.

That being said, I have a hang up with Football. 1) just kind of a middle word for me, and 2) I cannot come up with enough words for MASK without it.
