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.

Ok figured out the b5, they'll probably need both the t5 and b5 for this so I'm on board with this plan
Ok I’ll just do t5 since it’s very clear connection and y’all can then do a b5/b10 in the other domain to get them there if they don’t get it in one
Unless one of y’all know what t5 is; I think yall may be focusing on one domain and that’s why you aren’t thinking of t5
I know a t5 that would really like another t5 along with it, by itself it's misleading but w b5 should do it
We may be thinking of different ones so if you have a good shot at a oner I'd say you bold it cause the b5 I'm sure we have the same one
Well now I’m thinking about a t5 or t7 that may be even better than my initial t5
T7 better than t5 tho
Do the t7 and then b5 imo
toothed
First thought is buck
T7 toothed
T5 tooth
B5 bunny
Not sure yet what B10 or T10 could be with this line
Bambi could also be a B5 that hits buck
No mention of horse of bronco makes me think this probably isn't buck.
Am thinking along the lines of comb (fine-toothed comb) and b5 could be brush. But there's also no mention of hair, so it's probably not that either.
Toothed hits tons of stuff, but I doubt this clue gets used to hit some random animal. I mean there's the sabre-toothed tiger obv, but nah.
So I'm basically pretty clueless at the moment.
Oh hey, comb is a nice idea
Still stuck on B10 and T10
It could potentially be as simple as something like sharp or point. Haven't thought about other clues yet tho.
B5 could be blade.
I doubt we'd get a horse clue if the word was saw anyway. But no idea what any of those other clues would be either.
I think we'll just have to guess something and move on. I don't think we're getting this one.
hacksaw
Not too close
Can someone figure out b10 please? It’s in same domain as b5 but it’s more specific and should get them to the word
Well this is kinda awkward
They're not the closest but also not the farthest
And I haven't been able to figure out b10
Think about b5 and our word in that domain and other words in that domain
And yeah, also not too far off
Depends how you look at it
So maybe 60%? I dunno it’s weird trying to give percentages
Id say up to 70% but yh 60 fine
Ive got b10
Shall i do it?
Yeah
If they somehow still miss then multiple m4s or an m11 to get them to the finish line
There is also a b4 like m11 that we could do
