I'll agree on Mole as the most likely candidate for the fourth Killer word. I still don't see any point in guessing; the more words we leave on the board at this point, the more opportunities the red team has to go astray and give us a final chance.

It looks like Blue team intend to pass. In that case, we should do some pre-clue strategizing of our own. We have three words left. If we get a three-word clue, we're golden. If not, we need to decide whether SCALE was a Conductor word or a Fraud word. That is, are we still looking for the second Conductor word (BUGLE?) or the fifth Fraud word (SHOP/DOCTOR/MOLE)? I'm leaning towards TRAIN/SCALE being the two Conductor words, and SHOP being the fifth Fraud word. What does everyone think?

I was thinking along exactly those lines, unless SCALE was a re-clue, in which case we have three virgin words.

Oh, yeah, that's possible, too - I don't think any of us came up with SCALE after the first round, so it might have been necessary to re-clue.

I'd like to hear from DZG before passing, but I'm fine with the consensus to lean Mole and pass.

I prefer CROWN. It was on my list for killer and and Ner'zgul.

Doctor and grass no problem

Last word is either a conductor word or a fraud word. IE: either Bugle or Shop.

I lean that scale is a fraud word because I think it makes the most sense that way, so I think Bugle is our last word.

Also if the last were shop Bob could have easily clued Marijuana:3 and that would have given us Doctor, grass and shop for sure.

Also if Shop were a fraud word too Bob could have used fraud 6 to get scale and shop in with the others. I think conductor is specific to get a word he was having trouble getting with other clues, IE Bugle.

So Doctor>Grass>Bugle for me.

Oh God, a pop culture reference! Let's see: DOCTOR and, uh, GRASS?
What about the third word? I was leaning towards SHOP, but DOCTOR might be the fifth Fraud word!
In which case: BUGLE?
