I still say, since nobody has used their safe guess yet it should either be eliminated or turned into a pass without guessing a word to go to the next player.
Then the next player has to choose to use a pass or not. Yes, I know an active player has picked the bomb word, you can make a rule that if it is your bomb word you can not pass or just let them anyway...anyway, the worst that will happen is everyone uses their pass and then the original pass player dies. Otherwise people can pass the bomb word and we have to do an entire round over again...which takes days.
