Most cats like FISH. LITTER is probably our second word.

I still don't know what to make of our final Tea word. Maybe CZECH as people from Eastern Europe drink a lot of tea? 

What I know about the CZECH is that they have the highest beer consumption per capita in the world. lol 

I'm guessing Azoth saw MINT and GREEN and immediately thought of TEA. So, the 3rd word was probably an afterthought, "perhaps I can bundle one more word". The only word I can see from the ones on the board is GROUND. Everything else seems to be very tenuous... There's the tea cerimony from Japanese culture, but I don't see anything in the board that points that way.

Reading the board state, it's very likely we'll have abother guess. Considering we are 2/3 from the first clue and most likely 2/2 from the second, I don't see a need to guess right now. But if people prefer to take a shot, I'm in favour of GROUND or whatever else people like (because I really can't see a strong connection with any of the words).

Another, somewhat esoteric connection: in the Nutcracker, one of the DANCEs is the Chinese Tea dance.

Yes, CZECH isn`t really a strong connection to Tea. I`m happy to go for GROUND next instead of passing as you seem relatively confident on it. Getting another grey word would give us some information. And GROUND shouldn`t be worse than grey..

DANCE is another option but I have no idea if our spymaster is interested in Tchaikovsky`s plays.

I know superdeath hasn't chimed in on this clue, but we are holding the turn for more than 24h now, so I think we should move on. The clue seem easy enough. Sorry if I'm wrong about ground.

Fish, Litter and Ground are red.

(That's all the guesses Red are allowed this round, so Blue is up!)

Whoops, that’s what happens while checking at work.

On phone, so no color or board.

DANCE and PIT both seem strong, and then we go back and hit Rosier words. Is he a FIGHTER-STRIKE kind of unit?

There's a part of me concerned that DANCE and PIT could've been clued as Mosh and we're instead supposed to link PIT + CZECH instead (and the Czech Philharmonic is fairly notable), but I'm not sure how strongly I feel about that.

We have two Rosier words plus presumably three Orchestra words left, right? For Orchestra:

*Pit for sure, and presumably why the clue was given as nothing else musical points that way.
*Dance - direct music connection
*Strike - 'strike up the band'
*Needle - a conductor's baton looks a lot like this
*Tap - both a genre of music and what the conductor does with said baton
*Mass - an orchestra is a big mass of musicians
*Czech - Central/Eastern Europe is well known for their orchestras and concert halls, though this is more Austria/Germany than the Czech Republic

I feel great about Pit and pretty terrible pre-spoilers about everything else.
