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.

There is always V10 or W7 as well if we go that angle
Not sure what e6 is, but s4 is a good backup if we go from the left
Opposite f4 is a winner?
If f4 is what I think it is then that opposite does narrow down to exactly 2 options and then they can deduce which it is from there
It is
e6 gets us there. so does opposite f4.
Someone bold one of those
Opposite clue.
fork
Spoon or knife I guess? Spoon seems best out of those 2, but the problem is I don't know what that would make any of the other clues. S4 would be soup, but no clue on the rest.
Spoon was what came to mind for me first but I can't think of what any of the other clues are
Other options could be something like plate or bowl, or like a fork in the road type of thing but I don't see how the opposite of that would work
Yeah, I think it has to be spoon or knife. My lean is spoon, but I really would like to be able to get at least one other clue other than soup.
Let's bold spoon if you have nothing more to say.
spoon
90%
sharp
Aaaaah it's the knife
Well that sucks. Still no idea what the other clues are supposed to be.
knife
e6 is exacto
S4 was shiv
V10 Victorinox which is the company making the red Swiss Army Knife
W was Wusthof, maker of fine knives
Oh exacto is a banger
You shoulda just gone that even tho we didn’t know it bc it’s a lock
Wtf is exacto
similar to a box cutter
and the brand is X-Acto but we call them exacto knives for the general term for these
f6 was fillet
fillet knives are used for cutting open fish
Round 17:
Cards used: 19
Guessers: d1/bolt
The Board:
