I think I favor MOUNT too at this point.  It almost seems too obvious with OLYMPUS not to be blue.  If the word was soldier, you might use Achilles instead.

Or Ares?

So, LINK->MOUNT now (with SEAL as our next word)? Or LINK->SEAL, with MOUNT on deck?

We just weren`t on the same page as our spymaster this round it seems.

So it would seem. Frustrating for both parties.

I think this is the board state:

NOVELGRASSLINKSOLDIERTHEATER
MOUNTGERMANYSPELLSEALLION
AFRICAHEARTJACKWINDAZTEC
PASSCOMPOUNDVETNAILPENGUIN
MINTTRIANGLEOLYMPUSPITTRUNK


We can't end this round with a 1-clue. Luggage = TRUNK clearly, but what's the +1? I don't think LINK was intended as either a Schindler or Entrapped word, and it's plausible that our 4 Schindler words are cleared as NOVEL/THEATER/GERMANY/HEART, so that leaves one Entrapped word. I think we were leaning toward SEAL, but unsure as it could be blue. As our spymaster gave a 1-clue, should we just proceed with SEAL?

TRUNK, obviously.

But a 1-word clue? This suggests that none of our planned guesses are safe. If Lewwyn wanted us to point to SEAL for Entrapped, surely we would have been given a 2-word clue to finish this round? (With so many words off the board, it shouldn't be too difficult to find a connection.) If Lewwyn wanted us to point to both SEAL and SOLDIER, we would have been clued Trunk unlimited.

So I think we should point to TRUNK, then pass. On the understanding that if we are given another 1-word clue next round, we will point to SEAL.
