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.

I would be super shocked if E10 into A2 didn't hit
idk what e10 is, but im totally good with anyone who wants to bold anything we've discussed
my guess is A2 gets it around 50% in one, and c7 would get it like 98% in 2
I'm firing and will deal with the blowback if it misses, but I doubt this will go poorly
enthusiast
This could go poorly.
I guess the trick is figuring out what the a2 is, since there can't be too many options.
AC - air conditioning?
Ad - I doubt this gets mentioned without advertisement getting mentioned
Ag - silver?
Au - gold?
Ax - I'm sure axe would've been mentioned here
I doubt it could be something like an or at or whatever, but there's probably something I'm missing here.
I'm think something along the lines of fan atm. It hits AC and enthusiast fairly well.
C7 = ceiling?
Opposite c6 could be critic.
I'm starting to like fan a lot now.
Filthys hyphenated comment implies AC too
Feels like fan is a lock
fan
That is correct, nice job
Knew it wouldn't go too bad! Great job!
Nice. Good clue!
Enthusiast was a great clue Ervin
And yeah, d1 nailed c7 and opposite c6
Round 15:
Cards used: 19
Guessers: d1/ervin
The Board:
IH | DL | B | UNKQ | P | C | A
The target word:
I've pmed to filthy/ibedrummin/bolt/zeus
NOTE: THESE ARE THE LAST 7 CARDS IN THE GAME
I have an i18 that could get it maybe
c6 prolly our best option, though, so maybe we can find an A word so then we can get it in 2 with c6?
A6 is a decent lead in to C6
I got an a6 thst doesnt get ut in 1 but does with c6
I think we need to be realistic that this will take 2 so a6 to c6 is prolly our best bet
But maybe some hero comes in with a one clue home run
My a6 is really really bad i think lol
H6 is same as c6
We could just go there directly and maybe one shot this
And L4 is good in case that misses
Yeah I see no reason we shouldn’t fire off h6 and end this round
