I vote Ghost and Play as things to consider for our first guess.

I am not making any actual guesses at this time
In post 223, xofelf wrote:Play is a weird choice to tie to dead. Like there's much better ways to deal with that one. I feel like as someone who had played this, he'd be trying to do the clever thing of finding the easiest way to connect as many words as possible without it being a stretch. And if he wanted to go for Chick, Bug, and Rabbit, he could have said something about them being animals. Dead is a weird choice for those as well.

@xofelf: What do you think the words might be? You listed a bunch of negatives, but no positives.

I said Ghost, Aztec, Life. I think we all agree on Ghost so we should start there?

Oh yeah, one more point in favor of Play - with it, it makes more sense that formerfish picked "Dead" instead of "Death", which would otherwise have been more immediate due to being Life's opposite.
And yes, Life is obviously one of the words, I forgot about it in my last post.
Life > Ghost > Play

Well was there any others that we mostly agreed on? I don't want to like force a guess on anybody here or anything like that.

Oh yeah, there was also AZTEC to consider. I would approve of AZTEC and PLAY, although if you
really
want to try LIFE, you can I guess go ahead. Since we have 3 on our team, majority rule seems like a good option.

Sorry, been busy with running Clash. I'd prefer if we did Aztec or Life, so really whichever is fine. Play just doesn't feel right to me.

Nah, Aztec is too much of a reach imo.

OK, I find it difficult to believe that Aztec is too much of a reach, but life is not. At least the Aztecs
are
dead, whereas life is the
opposite
of dead.

This is not working.

Being the opposite makes it more related than any other word left. That's how this game works.
