Ok, starting a new game:

Red: Me, GPR
Blue: Mith, John, Erik

Words: Shakespeare, Angel, Telescope, Straw, Heart, Gold, Mercury, Agent, Lawyer
Avoid: Paper

Space (2) could clue Mercury and Telescope, and leaves an option open for a tenuous Angel
Iron gets in the way of Element (2)
Long (3) could clue Telescope, Straw and Shakespeare
Cylinder (2) perhaps for Straw and Telescope
Paper conflicts with Shakespeare.
I think Long (3) is probably my best guess
Here's hoping GPR finally thinks like me

COTTON, PLATE, BOARD, TEACHER, BACK, CAT, IRON, LIGHT.

BOARD and TEACHER…. something to do with a classroom….

BACK + CAT = “Scratch (2)”?

Oh, Red donates a word and it’s our turn.

Remaining words: COTTON, PLATE, TEACHER, BACK, CAT, IRON, LIGHT.

(gives “scratch” clue)

Both words were mentioned. (inserts Gobo)

CAT down. BACK down.

Remaining words: COTTON, PLATE, TEACHER, IRON, LIGHT.

And Red donates IRON.

Remaining words: COTTON, PLATE, TEACHER, LIGHT.

LIGHT and COTTON - “fluffy”.
