Zoinks! A five clue!

Big Ben measures time, plus it's Big, which is a measurement
You can measure things with your fingers.
You can measure things with a pitcher. (I like this one the best)
You can measure area in square feet or square meters.
A sign sometimes gives measurements.
Sailors and meteorologists have to measure the wind.

Big Ben is a maybe, and I oppose wind as something being measured, as you can say that people measure rocks or wine just as well

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.

I also like Wine and then Wind. Step is good as well, as is Big Ben.

I think Sign is about the only one I don’t like.

Tough luck there - big clues can be risky like that...

gg

Before revealing the board, I am curious to see what my team (or anyone) would have done with my other potential clues:

BUS: 2

and after:

UMBRELLA: 3

Oof!!

For bus, I’d guess “driver” and then talk out “back” and “car”

For umbrella “shower”, “wind” and then I’m not sure at all

And I definitely think steps is a measure, LaLI

Ah well. I was really struggling to get 3-clues, and at 7-5 I definitely needed to take some risks.

It seems like it was actually pretty close to working. I knew Wind and Finger were risks, and I was hoping that the conclusion would be that you use your fingers to count, not measure.

To clarify, the other 3 were Step, Big Ben and Wine.

And I definitely think steps is a measure, LaLI

So Bus would've been driver and back (trying to avoid, in fact car); but knowing car might get picked, it was my round 2, so that it could be the extra guess the next round

Umbrella would've been shower, wind, and pool (thinking about umbrellas for sun around pools). I also considered some other weather type words (rain, water), but was worried about Africa, or Wine or Pitcher. So would've depended on what words Red got before then.

Oh, and great job getting the Idaho words perfectly; that clearly put the pressure on them!

Yes, Yellowstone does (barely) extend into Idaho, and Washington, is not just any state, but borders Idaho...
