Mitigating over-analyzing players

[supervike]

Reducing the number of turns would be very hard to get the balance right....

I think a kind word about ruining the others enjoyment maybe in order. Also, humming the jeopardy tune may help...(lol)

The turn timer seems to be a realistic and fair way to administer it as well. It may not have to be 'exactly' the time allotted, but just to keep the game moving.
