Point to MAIL
Point to CHAIR
If only you and me and dead people know hex, then only deaf people know hex.
I write RPG adventures, and blog about it, check it out.
I was quite confident about clearing the board in three turns.
First off was Creature 4. Having exactly four animals/mythological creatures that were all blue was a nice strike of luck. That immediately put a lot of pressure on the reds. Also, HAND and THUMB were easy to pair so WK would need to come up with something spectacular to clear his board in two turns. Fwiw, I don`t think that`s realistic. I thought that maybe COTTON, FIELD, SUIT AND FOOT could be clued together but how do you clue the remaining words? Finger 3 was indeed meant to pick up the two easy hand-related words plus CROSS. The reds did get a lot of words on that second round and had to hope that the two remaining words would be awkward to pair. The more I thought about it, the less I liked it because MAIL and CHAIR don`t really have a lot in common but as the team correctly inferred, there were better options for MAIL + other words. I almost clued GLUE instead but thought that SECRETARY would hint that CHAIR was our last remaining word. All in all, that was a very good blue board and the team followed my reasoning all the way. If the assassin had been, say, HAND or DOG instead of MOSCOW - that would have complicated things. |
