Definitely not Helicopter T-Hawk.

JUPITER	STADIUM	WORM	HONEY	TOKYO
WITCH	FACE	KEY	DIAMOND	BERLIN
HELICOPTER	GAS	WASHER	DISEASE	KID

Bee Unlimited

3 to go. HONEY is a certainty. I still like TOKYO from Olympics over POLE. Stumped on a third. I'll sleep on it.

[Lewwyn]

So HONEY for sure.
How many Olympic words are left? We got berlin, but does that mean wall or trunk were an olympic word?

WAIT no! Bee unlimited! 3 words left. That means that only 1 word is clued by Bee and 2 words are older clued by Olympics. If there were two words clued by Bee we would have 3 guesses so unlimited is to ensure we get 3 guesses.

Thus I would say HONEY, TOKYO and POLE. Unless Europe? But I feel like thats not specific enough for olympics.

[T-hawk]

Honey is a gimme.

We have 3 words remaining, so this clue could have been for 2 and still let us finish. Because it wasn't, we know it has to point to only 1. That means Sunrise is telling us we're on track with past clues.

I'm not so sure the two are as obvious as Pole and Tokyo, because of Wall that was guessed for us. That actually could have been an Olympics word: you pole vault over a wall. And I'm still suspicious of Helicopter for Blackjack (why would Club + Face not be clued Card?) But nobody else supported that, and Sunrise didn't try to re-clue it, and if he was going for it then the clue would have been Blackjack 3 for all of Club + Face + Helicopter.

Anyway, those are suspicions but not strong enough. It's taking a lot of convolution to read this as anything other than Sunrise telling us we're on track with Pole + Tokyo. We haven't heard from David but he supported Tokyo earlier. And I'll leave Pole for last just in case that is blue's last Fastball word (although I'm pretty sure I know what that target was, and also have a suspicion on the third Hermione.)

Let's do this!

Point to Honey
Point to Tokyo
Point to Pole

[pjabrony]

All are Red
Red wins!

Does anyone want to take a guess at the other two I was trying to clue in before the board is revealed?

[T-hawk]

Guessing on blue's words, spoilered in case blue also wants to:

Fastball = GAS. Very common term if you know the sport.
Hermione = WORMtongue? Less sure on that, I'd have guessed both Trunk and Dress first, but knowing those are wrong seems to leave this as the best choice.

And now that I can google for it, Blackjack totally is a helicopter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HX-21

KEYCARD T-Hawk. I was worried Card 2 would be seen to be key and face, under an "if he wanted face + suit he should have clued a card game" argument

I really struggled with my board. Getting it in four didn't seem hard but I was clueless about how to clue it for three turns. Thankfully blue flirted with the assassin and I was able to squeak in since they had to waste a clue.
