Red Post mortem:

Not too much here as you guys were awesome! (though one of my 5 for Time was different)

Time (5): Night, Line, Tick, Swing, Triangle
Delta (2): Triangle, Africa
Replace (1): Sub

My 5th for Time was a stretch, but I thought about Triangle the instrument and somehow it worked it my mind. I would've been happy if just 4 had been guessed, but was very happy that glass fit a connection I didn't see and was ours.

It's funny because I did consider Pyramid as a clue if I needed for Glass and Triangle (i.e. the Louvre), but didn't even think of Africa. You are right, it would've been better here, but you still got it.

If they hadn't gotten Suit for us, I was considering trying Admiral for Sub and Suit.

Ground - like watering plants
Duck - habitat water
Alps - melting ice?

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.

By grouping, I like:

Top:
Ground

Middle:

Bottom:
Pool, Duck, Cold

Sub Bottom:
Life, Chest, Alps

I think we do Ground, then Pass.

We are EXTRAORDINARILY good at guessing Red words. :D I feel like 80% plus of our misses over the past 5 or so games have been Red Words.  :'(

A solicitor is a kind of lawyer in the UK and a salesperson in the US.

So I would say LAWYER and LONDON.

LETTER and DEGREE are also possible, but I think we don't want to overthink. HOOK maybe, as something a salesperson tries to do to you.

I had been thinking Lawyer and Degree (and Letter as a 3rd), but you're right, Solicitor is a specific choice (as opposed to Attorney) and points to London.

So I'm happy with Lawyer -> London

Though I might have gone for Barrister in that case, since it's less ambiguous.

Nice!

Now should we guess something the blue team would guess, since it'll just turn out to be red? :)
