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.

This is the only bangle I ever heard of.
Charm was the good c5 also, yeah
bangles were popular jewelry in the 80s/90s so may not be as familiar to some of ya’ll whippersnappers

C6 comes to mind. Could follow up with J5 to finish if needed. I9 a lock on the left, probably do something like P10 to open it up.
C6 is probably the one, but we're going to need some hints to help the guessers bink it.
P8 is better than P7
P10 is better than P9
I really like c6
P10 > P9 but neither as good
C6 is like a lock
Ae can bold c6
One more clue for later.
O13>O12
I'm not sure I know c6...I thought of one but I would think they would guess a different word than our target?
I thought of a c4, also a c10 or c5/c8 that seems it'd be vague but I think could actually be pretty good
The p7/p8 I know
Bolt, do you know my J5?
I’m fine to bold C6, just want J5 to be in the mix if we need it. Not sure yet what the Os are.
clinic
Maybe hospital? There's patients/infirmary etc that they were likely hinting at.
c6: clinic
j5: Johns for Johns Hopkins
i9: intensive (care) or infirmary
p10: pediatrics > p9 pediatric or paramedics > paramedic
p8: patients > p7 patient
o13: ?
not mentioned:
o10: outpatient
o10>o9: obstetrics > obstetric
they didn't go for oncologist, pediatrician, podiatrist, etc so it's not doctor; it's hospital or emergency room or urgent care or whatever
hospital most likely and Johns is confirmer for hospital over the other 2 I think
hospital
Ding ding ding
Excellent work
Lol I couldn't think of clinic
I thought of cancer, care, child/children/children's and patient
Nice job all!
Obstetricians was my o13. Nice bink!
Of course Nich got Johns ♥
good clues all
