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.

backpack
Niice
lol A7 was Algebra, which was like t4 text(book)…I counted correctly this time
I pulled an audible and did academic instead…worried briefly about briefcase since professors carry those but t for teacher was there so figured they’d go backpack
P was for posterior
Original t4 was tote but like I said that didn’t help after duffel since basically the same clue
L confirmer was locker
Nice job pulling backpack; will start next round when at pc
Round 14:
Cards used: 16
Guessers: ibd/bolt
The Board:
P | RG | C | B | RG | EF | T
The target word:
I've pmed d1, ervin, zeus
t4 as a confirmer once we land on target
f4 first to mind
maybe t4 or t12 as a lead in?
p8 is a shadowfax that would 100% get it if they know it, but i'm not gonna advocate for that...tho even normal non-shadowfax meaning still may get it so it's not bad
but t->f4 prolly the line unless someone has a banger
T4 yh
T-> f4 i like
Or e5
There's an r8 that's in the same domain as a not so legal clue that surely some of us know but it could go one of 2 ways
p8 is a shot at 1 clue but t->f4 is the safe 2 clue play
not seeing any other p/t word that would be 1-shot other than from them deducing stuff
p8 the only direct 1-clue but I'd love it 100x more if f4 was on same side to follow up if they miss
I much prefer t12 to t4. T4 only works in combination with other clues whereas I think they should be able to deduce the answer with t12.
Yeah t12-> f4 is the play if not going p8
Since no good second word if p8 fails t12 is best
thoroughbred
The only thing that comes right to mind is horseracing/race horse.
But no T5 (track) or P9 (Preakness).
Same, will take a deeper look in a bit
f4 could be foal and it might just be horse.
I'll think about t4 and p8
No f5 filly, but yeah, foal works. No p7 Pegasus, but maybe Nich forgot how to count again and that’s his p8 shadowfax.
T4 could be trot
Bold racehorse if you like.
racehorse
70%?
obviously f4 isn't the play
if they had knowledge of a certain thing then f10 would be slam dunk but I doubt they do
I'm liking p6 to nudge them in the right direction; p6 t12 should be a lock
petite
90% probs
E5 doesnt really help
Wjy isnt f4 the play? Feels the cloasest
