Thinking on it, if Boom is Red, then we've surely gotten the third Pitch word, so we should focus on something for Riding instead.

Pretty sure this is Sink and Smuggler. Can’t blame Lewwyn for slowing down, both teams are struggling here.

That’s 8 words we’ve been clued plus 2 from blue, so there must be some overlap somewhere. I think it’s reasonably safe to assume Opera was a Pitch word and Revolution was a gift. But since we weren’t given an unlimited clue it means our +1 guesses were not all right, so I don’t think we should guess again.

For clarification, what is our lean? For Riding it would be Dress then Switch yes? Pitch is tougher, assuming Boom is blue (and if it’s not then we should still let them point to it) then it’s either Sink or Agent. It’s strange that Lewwyn would reclue Sink immediately since that could have been our next Pitch guess, perhaps Agent is blue or maybe even black?

Either way, I would go Sink, Smuggler, Pass. I would also assume Sink is the last Pitch word.

Sink and Smuggler jumped out at me, but Boom is good too.
Our previous clues:
Riding 3: Mount, Centaur - Dress? Switch?
Pitch 3: Key, Contract - Sink?, Boom?, Agent? Opera?

It feels odd to me to clue Sink and Boom this round when they were probably our favourite remaining pair for Pitch. So I'm thinking Boom is wrong and Pitch was intended as something like Key, Sink, Opera.

Anyway, with 5 left to guess I think we should be trying to get 3 this time to make it as easy as possible next time. I'd go for Sink, Smuggler, Dress.

Wow, we got another word from the other team. It must be a tricky board.

Sink looks obvious. I prefer Smuggler to Boom for the second word, definitely agree that we should let Blue team guess Boom. After that I think we should go for Dress but could be talked into passing if we want to play it safe.

Sink is red.

Both were right, for once.  jive

Looks like I'm the only one advocating a cautious approach. My entire argument comes from the fact we weren't given an unlimited clue, but if Sink was reclued then we might still be 1 short. To recap, we need 3 to win and are only short 2 Riding words if:

Riding - Mount, ?, ? (Dress and Switch is our lean)
Pitch - Key, Opera?, Sink? (an assumption, but a decent guess IMO)
Boat - Sink, Smuggler

I don't know why Lewwyn reclued Sink (my guess is Agent is black) but that is how it is. So being short a word for unlimited looks like we all agree to end our turn with:

Point to DRESS
