Let’s just knock Knot out now.

From there:

I think I like…

Sub > Smoothie > Charge for Starbucks. I would be good with either of the first two as our next guess, and then evaluate our final guess option this turn.

So we have left:

1 Starbucks in {Charge, Sub}
1 Marriage in {Circle, Piano, Wagon}

I think my preferred order of guesses (we only get one more this round) would go:

Sub > Circle = Wagon > Piano = Charge

But I could easily be talked away from that.

Marriage (3): Wedding, ****, ****
Starbucks (3): Server, ****, ****

Driver: Limo Driver for a Wedding/Marriage
Piano: Decoration or Music at a Wedding/Marriage
Blind: -
Jam: Could be some association with Starbucks
Rust: -
South: -
Charge: You’re charged for a coffee at Starbucks.
France: Maybe a Marriage destination.
Circle: Marriage Band/Ring
Whistle: Could be a cultural thing for Marriages here, but I’m not aware of one.
Sub: You might sub oat milk for whole milk at Starbucks (or other things)
Snow: -
Knot: Tie the Knot/Get Married
Wagon: “Hitch the Wagon” is a saying for getting married.
Peanut: Same as Whistle. Might be a connection I’m unaware of in another culture.
Thief: -
Smoothie: You get Frappuccino’s from Starbucks.

I don’t like the following from this list and would probably remove them from consideration:

Driver
Jam
France
Whistle
Peanut

That leaves us:

Piano (Marriage)
Charge (Starbucks)
Circle (Marriage)
Sub (Starbucks)
Knot (Marriage)
Wagon (Marriage)
Smoothie (Starbucks)

I think Knot is ours for sure, so we have 2-of-3 left for Starbucks, and 1-of-3 left for Marriage after removing Knot.

After Knot & Smoothie were removed, we have 1 outstanding Starbucks Word clued, and 1 outstanding Marriage Word clued.

For Starbucks, the options would be between {Charge, Sub}
For Marriage, the options would be between {Circle, Piano, Wagon}

I think the strongest guess I think we have is {Sub}. It’s in the smaller subset, and I like it more than {Charge}.

After that, I think {Circle, Wagon} are about equal in terms of possibly being correct for Marriage.

I think {Piano} for Marriage, and {Charge} for Starbucks are the weakest of the options.

Although of someone were to like {Charge} more than {Sub} for Starbucks, it has the advantage of being a 50/50 compared to guessing at the last Marriage.

Which ultimately leads me to strongly preferring {Sub} - because if we’re wrong, we know it’s {Charge}, and LL only needs to figure out how to reclue the last Marriage word.

If we guess are a Marriage word & are wrong, LL needs to hope we come up correctly on two different remaining 50/50’s, or he’ll need to consider how to reclue two different words.

charge could be a clue for marriage as well -- the officiant gives the couple a charge to take care of each other.

idk, I'm good with sub. Let's try it.

I have a slight rule question. Can I give a two-word clue? In the version I played it's one word only, but if it's for example something that is called by two words, like name or a time period or something?

I've always played one word only, to reduce ambiguity. Easiest place to draw the line in my opinion.

Yes, one word but hyphenated words are okay if they are normally hyphenated in use like brother-in-law or criss-cross.

And when in doubt (if it's a legitimate hyphenated or otherwise legal word), you can check the other spymaster.

South seems like an easy lock.

And then? Maybe Circle? (like the equator or arctic circle)

My only concern with Circle is that it could be red's third Marriage.
