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.

Tons of other bands that start with C/D/L, so specifically Cranberries has to mean it points to something of theirs specifically, most likely a song.
I’ll think of a D7 I’m sure, but for now I’m pretty firm on zombie given Cranberries and D4
It’s not something like Irish/Ireland, because no D6 for Dublin obv. Not seeing a connection to linger.
Yeah, zombie
Yeah Ireland is just Cork and def a Dublin clue mention
Zombie seems like the best and most obvious answer in my head right now
It wouldn’t be Linger but Dreams was a hit that could be a word in the list
We should just make sure that doesn’t hit d7/d4 and Zeus’ 7 (no letter given) better
Oh DL card is on the side
Yeah, Dublin or leprechaun if this were Ireland
land for Zombieland is too vague to even mention prolly
I think you gotta clue lucid for dreaming
Zombie is my final answer
zombie, zombie, zombie-e-e
Indeed, nice job.
Great clue
Way to go!!!
wow nice clue
and nice guess

NOTE: THESE ARE THE LAST 4 CARDS IN THE GAME
Word sent.
P4 slam dunk
Yup
Stuff like D3 and L5 get directionally there, but probably need something like B5 to finish.
P4 could go sideways, but probably a mistake to not do it
I’ll shut up now
Lets do it for the fun
I still wanna know what your no letter 7 was from last round
Think I have an idea of what P4 could be but not fully sure
L7 could be ok
Twas cadaver ! C7 lol oops
I agree with everything that has been said pretty much, but we gotta go with the p4.
pelt
Yolo
First word that comes to mind is hide.
for me first word was fur, but hide also works, as does skin
or throw is another option to consider
