I did mess up. I was thinking when I was planning my turn during the other turn that we had three left. And then, when you guessed one of ours, I failed to adjust down to two.

Ah, right. Somehow it didn't occur to me that the 3 was supposed to be a 2.

So, wow, we have a chance!

For Suicide, I think Rope, Soul, and Air are best.

Assuming life was one of the inhabit words, that leaves 1 inhabit and 1 handheld.

So then Inhabit, Suicide -> Soul, and Handheld, Suicide -> Rope.

(I guess there could be an argument that life could've been handheld, somehow, and then since Air fills a space, it could be Inhabit; but seems too much a stretch for me)

Yeah i mean we would of got a clue for Hollywood if it was Hollywood i thibj here.... so inhabit is weird but souls makes sense and matches with suicide.

Just kinda weird clue but i can’t see what another angle would be so i am good with soul and agree that rope makes the most sense

So I’m good with that if you are

My first clue (Serpentine: 3) was actually intended for Stream, Scale and Rope. I considered making it 4, to try and include Slug, but thought that would be too much of a stretch. Glad you decided on Slug, though; Slug and Soul were tricky words.

Simultaneously with this, in Codenames XII I had a board where Cloud was one of mine and Stream was the assassin. Careful not to get them mixed up!

I completely screwed up the Game clue. I thought, in the moment, late at night, that we had 3 left and Life was one of them, when in fact we had two left. A different clue there would probably have won us the game. My fault for not double-checking the grid like I normally do.

Also, YES! Lord of Atlantis is a thing. It's a famous Magic: The Gathering card from the original run.

I wanted to use Stargate to clue Atlantis, Ring, and Soldier, but Hollywood and Film seemed likely to get in the way. I also thought about Wraith, which is both the villian in Stargate Atlantis and in Lord of the Rings.

Last thing I'll say is that the intended third for job was Knight. I thought you would pick the three clues that were jobs before looking at things like Contract and Board. But I guess since Knight is not a modern profession it didn't click, which makes sense.

Yeah we got lucky from your mistake.

(For just Board and Bug, there should definitely be clues that get those just two. (maybe termite? though life is still tricky there))

gg!

Thinking some more... maybe Water is the better guess after all.

I can imagine that it's not Water, but that's a word galz would definitely have checked against, so I feel like it is at worst neutral, and England may be a riskier guess.

There is also a weaker connection with World Cup.
