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.

Garfield stole h10’s thunder
T3 would be tom for tomcat but that’s not a great one shot like tabby is
heathcliff would have lead me to wuthering heights
tom would have lead me to too many places
mangy might have gotten me there. or stray might have been best.. after tabby. tabby gotta be number one clue
any clue that gets tweedle dee and tweedle dum(filthy and ervin) to guess it in one is a great clue! lol
i wasn't even sure what a tabby is, and ervin had never heard of it lol
opposite: dog
would have worked lol
lol I keep forgetting opposite clues
Hairball could've been a good H clue.
Round 15:
Cards used: 20
Guessers: ervin/zeus
The Board:
M | S | DL | DL | C | IH
The target word:
i've pmed it to d1/filthy/bolt/ibd
NOTE: THESE ARE THE LAST 6 CARDS IN THE GAME
s5 is good, but won't get it in one
c6 is another good one that won't get it in one
m3 + s5 combo gets it, but I'm hoping we can figure out a 1-shot clue
s9 not bad either
Lots of H words get in the ballpark, but not sure any of them get it in 1 necessarily.
I'm not totally sure I know what the m3 is.
That's what I thought it might be, but not really a fan. H5 has to be better than that, no?
Could be better than M3 in a vacuum, but if they don’t get it in one then we’re stuck with M or C, neither of which are great combos with H5. Starting with M gives us a path to S5 and is a pretty straightforward combo.
What I would give for a certain letter to be on the board

I see what you're saying. I was thinking if h5 doesn't get it in 1, then c4 would do it, but I actually do see a world where that goes off track.
What I would give for a certain person to post in either of the codenames threads.
I will by tomorrow
It’s been hectic few days but slows down tomorrow
I may be able to tonight
Let's just do the m3 then to keep it moving.
moo
Ok so it's not cow I imagine that's c3, s5 maybe sound? But could be something else farm or animal related
s5 h5 hmmm what could these be
Lol funny word
Feel they'd mention stuff like sega or implosion or whatever if it's sonic/boom type stuff
So I'm thinking it's more like something on a farm like a spout or straw
Could be something like haystack or hay if stack is the 5
