This is the updated grid. There are 2 red words and 4 blue words remaining.
Does anyone think the unlimited is implying that we're only looking for two Birdsong clues? If it applied to all four he'd have said four, if it was three he can say three and we get an extra guess. He can't say two as then we can't make four guesses.
Anyhow my initial thoughts are RACKET and KIWI. I guess FLUTE is possible, but then we'd need to look at PIANO too so I don't really like it. For previous ones NIGHT seems a lock for lighting, RACKET was the only left-over for Snow while RULER is the only possible one of State remaining wasn't it?

The 4th State word could be MOSCOW, though it's a little bit of a stretch. (January 19th, 2016, 13:37)Ichabod Wrote: 1 Snow: RACKET? Is there a Millionaire named SNOW? Perhaps John SNOW is the RULER of the NIGHT's Watch? Isn't there a Christmas Carol named Oh, Snowy NIGHT? Never heard of that Carol...

Or WASHINGTON, MOSCOW, QUEEN, RULER (January 19th, 2016, 13:37)Ichabod Wrote: Or do you guys think RULER also fits Lighting or Snow? I don't know... If RULER isn't the last one of State then I'm a bit lost. I don't know how the rest would fit together in that case.

It seems more likely to me than FLUTE or PIANO, but I've said that before...

I guess FLUTE is possible, but then we'd need to look at PIANO too so I don't really like it. If it adds to the discussion, as a foreigner, I didn't know about this expression. Wouldn't Birdnoise be a better word in that case? Not sure if it'd be allowed, but I'm not sure birdsong exists as a word either. My idea of FLUTE is that it's the instrument that mostly resembles a bird from the 2 in there, which is also not very strong of a guess. By the way, BIRDSONG has to be more than a single word, otherwise he'd just say bird or something easier. And I don't think he'd use it to point at RACKET, since we already debated it as a SNOW word. Birdsong seems to me as being two separate words into one: bird + song. So, KIWI + one of the musical instruments (in that case, flute = piano). This only makes sense with STATE already being guessed and the last words being RACKET (SNOW) and NIGHT (LIGHTING). Overall, that's too much ifs for my liking, but I guess all of our options are filled with "ifs".

Its fairly common in the UK, not sure about the US and I can see why you'd have missed it. Birdsong is a common word, and while birdnoise does describe KIWI/RACKET better it isn't a word  . Now you point that out I would go for FLUTE over PIANO, but still not keen.

Agreed it has to be more than one word. I've been trying to think of better linking words for KIWI/RACKET and KIWI/FLUTE (although that didn't work so well as a tactic last time). A New Zealand tennis player would be great for the first, but I can't think of one without Google, while Sweet might work for the latter? Its a bit of a stretch and probably not helpful.  Re: RACKET - HOOD was the only other possibility we had for the third snow word so I think we need to guess RACKET for that even if not for Birdsong. So in order of certainty I think we want: KIWI > RACKET > NIGHT > RULER/FLUTE Where I'm leaning to RULER over FLUTE.
