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.

Yeah I was just trying to let you know which h8 I liked so if yours was better you could do it
But I’ll refrain from that in the future
Lots of ways we could go here depending on their knowledge. There are 2 n5s which should be locks tho.
Yea like obv coulda guessed magic school but I've been trying to back off of the anglyish 2 idea thing(and imo there would be, magic is a totally different idea from school)
n5 seems strong, n3 as confirmer
Maybe the other Ns are same idea but they will immediately think of the word with n5
If we wanna save the big card, pretty clear M7 does the trick imo
Yeah m7 is good also
I don't know what m7 is, but I'm fine with pretty much anything as long as it's not something they may not know.
They should know m7 but n5 is the clear best known imo
Yeah, let's just stick with one of the n5s then...this is not something we want to waste a card on.
Ready to fire n5?
Yeah my n6 is actually n5
Some day I’ll learn how to count
Nadal
I know what M7, N3 and the other N5 are and I have an anecdote about N11 that I'll share later.
I'll let Zeus post before I give away the answer.
Tennis player?
Net
Is n3
When I was in high school, around 1988, a friend of mine scored all access passes to the Miami Open, including entry to the players' tent for lunch. We got to see John McEnroe (M7) as well as Jimmy Connors and Steffi Graf play.
The highlight was in the tent, when Martina Navratilova (N11) sat next to us.
The other N5 is Novak (Djokovic).
Tennis Racket
It was tennis player
J/k…just tennis
Navratilova was my first thought then Nadal
McEnroe should be gotten but Nadal is a lot more contemporary so was a little safer
Pretty cool that you got to meet some of the greats

I didn't get to meet any of them. But sitting a couple feet away from Martina was crazy.

The target word:
someone pick a random number 1-440, go to the spreadsheet and find the word in that row in column A and pm it to ibedrummin, d1iabol1cal, amazingervin, bolt2112. Double check that it's not already in column H as a word used before.
