SIDES - Inaugural Game Thread
In this thread, we will play a new word game called Sides. It's somewhat similar to codenames, but cooperative and different.
Sign up with /in below if you want to play.
In this game, a target word will be randed as will a row of 7 cards that have letters on them (most 1 letter, some 2/3/4 letters).
2 people will be the guessers and everyone else will be able to give a clue.
The clue given must start with the letter on either the first or last card (the 'sides' of the row).
We discuss as a team who will give the clue with open discussion in the thread such as "I have a 7 letter word starting with a C"
Once there is some agreement on who gives the clue, that person will bold the clue they want to give in the thread.
The two guessers will then discuss in the thread and bold their guess. If it's correct, we move on to the next guessers and the next word. If wrong, then the clue givers post some info like "you are warm" or "you are about 30% there" etc to give directional info on how on track/off track their guess is.
Then they discuss and give another clue. But the person who bolded a clue cannot give another clue for the same word until everyone on the cluing side has clued a word (if we take that long to get the word), so one person can't hog the cluing.
Clues have to be one word, or an acronym, etc like in codenames; they can be hyphenated words
We can also give some info on how the clues relate to each other, or even say a clue is a 0 clue, so the opposite of what cluing for (e.g., clue 'colorful' as an opposite clue because the word is zebra)
I'll provide more details and examples in the thread in the morning, but this should be enough info for you to /in and join so we can play.

Yeah, the people who move furniture. I guess that's just an Australian term then.
I'd like to come up with an m8 that fits, but not really sure what else this could possibly be.
mover
Who puts the furniture in the new place after the removalists remove it?
Nice job, mover is right
nice one diab.
good clues guys
Round 14:
Cards used: 19
Guessers: filthy/ervin
The Board:
T | M | S | DL | DL | C | IH
The target word:
i've pmed it to d1/zeus/bolt/ibd
NOTE: THESE ARE THE LAST 7 CARDS IN THE GAME
I've got an h10
Dunno what the h10 is, but there's a slam dunk t5 that can't miss.
Yo nich, are you planning on giving a clue in the codenames thread at some point?
Didn’t know I was a spymaster; I’ll take a look tonight
t5 is great but all else equal I’d love to go from the right so we can unlock DL in the next few rounds, so we aren’t left with DL and DL as our last two cards, for variety’s sake
But t5 slam dunk may make most sense
Meh, shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth
t5 is easy one shot, which is our goal, to get 7 more points with these 7 cards, so I’ll co-sign that
Yeah T5 is it
I can’t find a Codenames game where I need to give a clue
I’m guessing in all 4 games afaik
The other team’s turn ended and then the board wasn’t updated, so maybe that’s why you couldn’t locate it.
T5 is in 1
Theres a bad t3 too lol
Let's bold the t5
tabby
cat? or go with "house cat"?
but idk what H10 or T3 are
I have no idea what a tabby is
im like 85% sure that tabby is a kind of cat. but i can't think of any other words that tabby is even associated with. so i think we're stuck with cat. and might as well say "house cat"
im pretty sure a tabby cat is a pet cat. i don't think any live in the wild.
house cat
