Yeah, France does also come to mind. But wouldn't the clue then be something like MARSEILLES (which is in the South of France)? or even just GEOGRAPHY?... i.e why specifically LATITUDES, and does the plural matter?

Is there some some with Latitudes in it?

I was thinking France would be cannes or something also yeah. So, maybe not that.

I think WAVE/CIRCLE is the choice we have here unless someone else has another connection they they think of.

another option may be to pass.
We are at 6/8 with 1 out for Latitude.
They are 4/9 with 1 out for Marriage and 1 out for Starbucks. That is 6/9 clued.

They would have to be able to tie together a 3 clue and also get both the others they have outstanding next turn, or leave us with a 2 clue lay up.

Might be good to pass here if we cannot decide. Especially because if we guess a red it becomes significantly easier for their clue giver to give a -1 clue for 4 rather than tie together 5 with a -2 clue.

I could see snow as well, although sometimes like Pole or Antarctica would be way better clue for that.
Didn’t remember circle could be theirs, I think pass is best here.

If it were just me, I'd guess CIRCLE. But we know I like to guess aggresively.

I'm OK with passing if that's what you both prefer.

Peanut (for peanut butter) and Jam seem obvious.

France I think is likely  -- French Dip is a sandwich and people get married in Paris a lot I think?

Maybe #4 is charge? Like you charge for a sandwich?

Peanut & Sandwich for sure.

I’m curious if LL is aware of Infinity guesses… that is, I’m worried that there might be 3 Sandwich, but he knew we needed a number of at least 4 to guess at 5.

I dunno.

Since {Sub} was wrong, I’m comfortable enough with {Charge} for the final Starbucks. Could also be a Sandwich clue.

That would put us at 3. I still don’t like {France} for Marriage, although it *is* the “City of Love”. However - I *do* think it’s ok for Sandwich…

But the problem is that leaves us needing 1 still. So either {Charge} isn’t Starbucks… (and then what is?), or we consider a final guess for Marriage.

I dunno.

Fair. Was waiting for Jimmmm to come in, but honestly if it’s not Peanut -> Jam we probably lose anyway.

Jimmmmm can comment more on future guesses when he gets here.

I think we go Charge next. It's the only option I can see for the remaining Starbucks, and could be the overlap with Sandwich.

Marriage could be any of Driver, Piano, Circle or Wagon. I still like Piano; I guess I'm thinking of on-screen weddings, where it cuts and the piano/organ is what immediately gives away that it's cut to the wedding.

I can't think what the last Sandwich could be. Are French sandwiches a thing?

Hmm, I'm not sure what to make if this clue.

We only have two left and we know one of them fits LATITUDES.

So if this clue is for 2, WCD would've just said Musical: 2. But it were just for the one non Latitudes, we could have had Musical:1.

Which now makes me think that the two remaining words:
a) can't be easily clued together, so only 1 musical
b) but our last word is not ANY of the one we were thinking already for Latitudes

Which would mean we should guess 1 for Musical, and then 🤷‍♂️, maybe something that is Latitudes but not any we had previously suggested. Honestly I don't know.

For Musical, the most obvious seems PIANO, then WHISTLE.
Or if you're thinking Broadway or Disney, there are many others:
France: setting for something like Les Mis or Phantom
Snow: from Frozen
Thief: also Les Mis.
Circle: Lion King (Circle of Life)

My guess, is it's none of those, and most likely Piano. But, like I said if that is BLUE, not sure what to do after that.

Do you either of you see the logic behind the infinity clue? (Sorry WCD if I'm missing something obvious)
