TABLE

Table seems super obvious.

I'm still nervous about Australia since I can't get past the lack of the -s in the clue. But I feel Australia is pretty strongly signaled as our next word in our discussion so surely if we were looking for Table + Space something else would be clued.

Table - Australia - pass

Wow, I thought for sure AUSTRALIA was either blue or black thanks to the 1 clue from Azoth. Have we ever had 5 grey words revealed before? Regardless, there are 8 words left and we need to guess all 3 of ours this turn. There are 2 grey, 2 red and of course the black left. I'm struggling to find the meaning behind Azoth's 1 clue though, are the remaining words really that intertwined?

The 3 clue implies that we are not on the right track with our next +1 guess, which I think would have been TAG. Unfortunately I'm not sure what to make with our current clue. Is he asking for things which can be given as a gift? That would probably imply BUFFALO, CALF and then SPACE? As said earlier TAG probably isn't correct and the others don't seem to fit the clue that well. BUFFALO and CALF have similar meanings though, wouldn't something like Ranch 3 be a better clue if those were the words he was aiming for?

Oh wait, Given the SLIP is a phrase isn't it? That's probably the only word I have complete confidence in right now. Then probably SPACE then BUFFALO? I don't know...

I'm really struggling to see obvious connections here, and I think we're going to have to rely on a combination of the tenuous and prior clues.


A Check is given. Probably 1 of 2 missing Shipping words.

A Tag is given. Probably the other missing Shipping word.

Is a "Plot" given? Only in the vaguest possible sense, I think. Can probably rule this out for Shipping.

I am still at a loss as to what the missing Chocolate word is; I guess not Calf or Buffalo, as I cannot discern any connection to Given. If it's indeed Check, then either Commodore re-clued it with Shipping or somehow failed to see the connection.

Pretty sure we hit all of the Ballplayer words already.

Upon reading WK's post, I think his reasoning is much more solid than mine. Slip makes perfect sense.


Slip, Check, and then one of Tag or Buffalo, maybe.


Edit- it sort of got lost in the sauce, but Dave was surely correct in his initial post last turn RE: Slip for shipping
