You are allowed to use 0 as the number part of your clue. For example, feathers: 0 means, "None of our words relate to feathers."

If 0 is the number, the usual limit on guesses does not apply. Field operatives can guess as many words as they want. They still must guess at least one word.

Thanks, T-Hawk.

Vault: 0

[Might be good for someone to explain the 0 rule again.]

The clue rules out LOCK. We need 4 words since JET was correct. So I say TIME, MODEL, SNOWMAN, but I'm not sure about a 4th.

[pjabrony]

Well, that makes things interesting. We have four to get, all that relate to Flight but not Vault.

The ones that don't relate to Vault are CASINO, LOCK, and probably TIME (particularly since they are in left-to-right order on the chart, OH may have seen TIME LOCK, which is something that Vaults have.

And that makes things interesting because I thought Flight-TIME was a good connection.

So, SNOWMAN is one we want to take, then MODEL and AMBULANCE look a lot stronger. But, if we've also eliminated ENGLAND and THUMB, then the fourth choice is one of HORSESHOE, SPINE, or ROCK.

My gun-to-head choices are SNOWMAN, MODEL, AMBULANCE, and ROCK. I'm willing to be talked out of just about all of them.

Let me see what ipecac says.

He's allowing TIME. It's possible, but I'm dubious, since it also fits with Cooking.

I saw CASINO as possibly being ruled out, but I didn't think of TIME.

Well, two of my best guesses are wrong (lock and spring) and time is likely wrong too, so I'm rather stumped.

I think you guys are reading too much into the clue - OH can see what we were thinking. I think he says that as he wants to direct us away from lock only.

Unless if it was just lock to ignore why not say key?

[Aurorarcher]

Agreed with REM to most part. OH saw we were on right track but now wants to remove one or more of those words from our original list that was: MODEL, SNOWMAN, TIME, LOCK, AMBULANCE, ROCK, SPRING.

I think OH wants to rule out LOCK (at least). He saw we didn't consider CASINO even before so ruling that out also makes no sense. But is he trying to rule out another word that we thought about, too... that's something to take into consideration. Ruling out only LOCK with Vault doesn't seem right to me. Time locks certainly exist and that would relate to Vault very well. So that'd rule out LOCK + TIME, and that's a clever 0 clue right there (if we're reading it correctly of course ). Then that would leave us with SNOWMAN, MODEL, AMBULANCE, ROCK for our remaining words. Hmm... dang. I can't think of any other two words that'd be ruled out from our list with Vault.

Only one person mentioned rock briefly... I think our original list of model/snowman/time/lock/ambulance/Spring

Spring is wrong, and lock definitely ruled out.

POINT TO SNOWMAN

As we all agree on that

Probably point to model too?

[Old Harry]

SNOWMAN is blue

Yeah, everyone has that word.

Point to MODEL

MODEL is blue
