Codenames 30

[Bobchillingworth]

Heart is Red


Heracles (3)

[superdeath]

Olympus, Lion, Soldier. Those are the first 3 that come to mind.

We have two more guesses, and as usual we should use them both if possible. Since we don't know if there are two Schindler words left, one of the guesses will have to be SEAL. I doubt that Blue team will point to it, not when they are considering so many other words for Bind, so if we don't guess SEAL this round, we'll only be delaying the decision until next round.

I suggest we guess one of HEART/SOLDIER, then SEAL. I agree that SOLDIER is less risky, so I am fine with guessing it even though I lean HEART.

Isn't it just 1 more guess? We got a 2 clue and have guessed 2 words. I'm happy with either HEART or SOLDIER for the last word.

Hahaha, oops! Don't know what I was thinking there...

NOVEL	GRASS	LINK	SOLDIER	THEATER
MOUNT	GERMANY	SPELL	SEAL	LION
AFRICA	HEART	JACK	WIND	AZTEC
PASS	COMPOUND	VET	NAIL	PENGUIN
MINT	TRIANGLE	OLYMPUS	PIT	TRUNK

Presumably to point us at the Greek legendary hero rather than the Disney movie.

Heracles killed the Nemean LION
His dad lived on Mount OLYMPUS
And he had Pegasus for a MOUNT? This is from the movie, not sure if it applies the the guy in Bullfinch's Mythology.

I'm all in on LION and OLYMPUS, but not so sure of MOUNT. I'm baffled on what to guess for a +1 if we get these three.

[Gold Ergo Sum]

Mount-as in Olympus  2
Olympus-seems definite  5
Soldier-very likely  4
Lion-vaguely recall one of his challenges was to slay a lion or something  4

I don't see any others.  I would go OLYMPUS-->LION-->SOLDIER-->LINK

[JR4]

OLYMPUS is obvious.

SOLDIER is likely one of the words we`re looking for. It might very well be one of the Bind words too.

Did Heracles kill LIONS? Perhaps he was a VET?

Also, we need to come up with at least one more Bind word. SEAL or LINK would be my preferred options.

[DaveV]

Heracles had to complete a series of tasks, including cleaning out a very dirty stable (he changed the course of a river to do this). One of these tasks was killing the Nemean LION. As I recall, the lion's skin was invulnerable to piercing weapons, and Heracles wore that skin as armor after killing the lion (no explanation of how he was able to remove the skin).

After reading GES's guesses, I like LION and MOUNT (because MOUNT OLYMPUS   ) for the next two. I think I prefer LINK to SEAL for a +1, but they both seem like plausible answers for Bind.

We seem to have unanimity on this one, at least:

Point to OLYMPUS

[Bobchillingworth]

Olympus is Blue

[Gold Ergo Sum]

Should we do LION-->LINK and then maybe guess MOUNT OR SOLDIER last?

[JR4]

We have enough support for LION, I guess.

Point to Lion

Are you happy about going for MOUNT next? Another option is SOLDIER. Thinking about it, I slightly favour MOUNT.
