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.

m8 is another way to go but it doesn't point only to the target; they could go a few ways and we would have to narrow it down
assuming they know m8 then m8 to t5 or something similar should get the word
but I like w7; I think bolt will know it
also t9 gets it if we get off track on first clue as both sides have it 2nd in
Not sure what these are yet and seems a tad tricky
hopefully one of you knows t9 because it's a lock if we get to 2nd clue
I'd like to go w7 to go for the one-shot
Ive got nl clue whats good here
Yeah that should be the case like Kleenex or Coke
But many many people in the US write it as exacto
You’ll see it on eBay and Amazon and random websites etc
Wiki also says “An X-Acto knife may be called an Exacto knife, utility knife, precision knife, or hobby knife.”
Go for w7
I have thought of nothing so far still
There's a w6/w8 kinda? But...not really
Oh similarish to the w8 but just w9 better
But hard to say cause idk what anything else is
Ive got a good t7
At this point a dz t7 is like "terminator" and I definitely don't trust this
As much as I love w7, I know t9 is a lock so someone else do their side letter clue and then I’ll back it up with t9 if needed since nobody seems to know either of mine
I'm gonna bold something myself in a minute
I have nfi, so don’t wait for me. Erv, if you have an M or W I say fire it and let Nich take it home with his lock T clue.
I have nothing lol but ok let's keep it moving

This round is a week old. Let's just guess sunglasses and move on to thr next clue.
Is that a brand of sunglasses or something?
Ok, so probably not sunglasses then? Oakley is a slam dunk for that anyway and nobody so much as mentioned it.
It's probably just the standard definition and we should guess journey or something imo. But by the sound of it we have no chance of getting it until the t9, so I really don't care what you wanna bold.
Nomad?
nomad
I really like m11 also
No clue how to do % closeness for the guess
Maybe 60%?
