-Old Harry. PB48.
PARACHUTE and HELICOPTER look good for that. After, it could be PORT or possible VACUUM (that shares a root word with the clue, but it feels legal. We might need a judgment here) or even FALL. HOLE matches the clue, but it matches red team's clue a lot better.
Let's break down every word, since there are only 11 of them left:
Don't see any connection to SATURN, MOLE, PIANO, VACUUM.
FORK is a weak cheap word, but given clue is for 3 we should probably forget about it.
PORT could work for Evacuation and Grocer, but given OH's prompting and the Man unlimited clue is almost certainly red.
HOLE is a weak Kevlar/Evacuation word, but given the unresolved drama in red revolving around this word we should stay further away from it than my ex.
SQUARE seems kind of a weak word, but isn't it pretty difficult to clue? This is also the only explanation I can think of why JR4 went Grocer last round.
Which leaves my top 3 words:
HELICOPTER I think is obvious.
PARACHUTE is a decent word for Evacuation and Kevlar, what worries me is that we got a 3 clue and PARACHUTE was our next +1 guess so maybe we aren't supposed to go for PARACHUTE? Can't think of a better word to guess 2nd though, and maybe it couldn't be helped.
FALL could work for all of Cheap, Grocer & Evacuation, but I have a hard time placing this word above PARACHUTE. Plus if it was HELICOPTER/PARACHUTE/FALL, wouldn't the clue be Skydiving 3?
I'm not that confident in FALL, but am fine guessing the other 2 anytime. I hope HOLE isn't actually our last word, if it is then this might be one of the greatest rounds ever to be pindicator.
Might be a bit late to ask this, but considering this is a Civilization site is there anything particularly noteworthy about the Grocer building in Civ V or VI? I've only played IV.
Parachute for sure. I agree that a ruling is probably necessary regarding the use of the word due to presence of Vacuum. Helicopter fits as well, but order matters. If we agree on parachute into Heli then no way is it Fall as the third word
Grocer is a 150 hammer building that gives 2 merchant slits, requires Guilds and gives +25% gold, and +1 health to wines, spices, banana and sugar. I'd don't see Civ as the link here.
I agree that a ruling is probably necessary regarding the use of the word due to presence of Vacuum.
I'm not sure I count as authoritative although I'm at least neutral. I don't see which rule this would break.
It's not spelled close enough to be " 6. You cannot say part of a compound word that has not yet been identified", and it's not similar enough in meaning or sound to break "5. You can't use any form of a word that has not yet been identified on the grid". The rest of the rules seem even less applicable to me
