[Cat Scratch Fever]

Red team's turn

[lilith2013]

cylinder 3

[Farren]

Spoiler: My thoughts...

ROUND has to be correct here. Cylinders are nothing if not round. (Looks like you were right earlier, Adorable.)
BAR ... maybe? Some bars are cylinders. Jail bars and rebar ...
HOLE ... also a maybe. Depends on how they're dug. They at least get close to cylindrical, though.
POOL ... a kiddy pool would be cylindrical. An Olympic pool, not so much.

ROUND >> BAR > HOLE = POOL is where I am right now.

[Adorable]

I am stumped on this one. Round is the only one I can think of that fits cylinder. Some of your choices I also think fit for cylinder. I kind of thought block also fits because some kids block can also be shaped like a cylinder.

[Farren]

I think there are enough types of BARs that are cylindrical to make it a good candidate (although admittedly not as good as ROUND).
BLOCK ... yeah, I can see it. I'd see it in terms of "both BLOCK and CYLINDER" are 3D shapes - and actually, that might explain CYLINDER over CYLINDRICAL.

Maybe ROUND > BLOCK > BAR > Pass? At this point I'm assuming ROUND was intended to be the last apple word.

I'm good with those.

[Farren]

Guess: Round

Guess: Block

Guess: Bar

Pass

[Cat Scratch Fever]

All red. Board update will happen when I get off work

Blue team's turn!

[ORAM]

GAPING - 2

[biancospino]

Spoiler:

HOLE for sure, and then MOUTH?

We're still missing one MONARCHY and one SOLAR word. But tbh I don't really have many ideas. Maybe LIFE/CHARGE but that's a serious stretch

[Cat Scratch Fever]

HOLE

[ORAM]

HOLE is blue

[ORAM]

(Still blue's turn)

[DragonEater70]

Damn

Do you want to do mouth? I don't really see any alternates.

[biancospino]

Sure

MOUTH

[ORAM]

MOUTH is blue

[biancospino]

Ok, we should be missing one MONARCHY and one SOLAR words.
However, we can guess only one and we miss 4, so there isn't necessarily too much point in not passing. Do we pass?

[DragonEater70]

I think unless we want to strain ORAM by possibly making her need to do a 4-word clue, it is optimal to correctly mguess one more word here.

It also raises our EV because if our first guess for solar turns up neutral, we get abother guess next turn which if we didn't make a guess now, we'd have to wait two more turns to guess.

So let's make one more guess.

[DragonEater70]

Unguessed words:
Stick, Deck, Charge, Life, Antarctica, Bermuda, Kid, Fork, Luck, Pool, Tag, Novel.

Out of these, Stick, Deck, Bermuda, Kid, Fork, Tag, Novel are never solar.

Left with: Charge, Life, Antarctica, Luck, Pool.

It's probably not Luck because I don't think the sun is particularly considered lucky, but maybe?
It could be Charge for the same reason it was battery.
Life because the sun gives life feels like a stretch.
Pool because people go in pools in the summer also feels like a stretch.
it could be Antarctica because I think the hole in the ozone layer is there or something? Which is supposed to block solar rays. And also there are days with sun 24/7.

For me solar is between Antarctica and Charge.

---

For Monarchy, I could see deck (I think you said it earlier), because it includes king and queen.
Stick referring to the royal regalia is probably a stretch.
Charge because a ruler is "in charge" is a stretch.
Bermuda idk.
Life is maybe not a stretch?
Fork in reference to court manners is hilarious but idk if that's something that people even think about this way outside of my country.
Novel because there are monarchs in books?

Yeah I have no clue about monarchy.

[DragonEater70]

Actually disregard that, we're only missing 3 words, not 4.

I am fine with passing.

[biancospino]

Novel because there are monarchs in books?

That actually makes quite a lot of sense.
The hole is indeed over Antartica. Though between charge and artartica I'd choose charge. We can do charge if you'd rather not pass

[DragonEater70]

Your choice.

[biancospino]

Let's be bold.

CHARGE

[lilith2013]

oh no, that was the assassin
