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.

hmm I dont know i11
this is hard.
m6 is kinda there- wont' get it in 1 but gets them on way?
UNKQ is a tough second round ngl
h5/h6 could be good?
I like M5, but I doubt it’s a 1-shot and have nfi where to go with the next card. I don’t know any of what you guys are talking about.
I haven't thought of m yet
May be a different domain....but I think h5/h6 would work pretty well
Idk how to hint at it, it's similar to our target word in a sense
Unless someone comes up with an idea they love I'm gonna fire i11. I give it better than a 50/50 shot at an ace.
A little problematic no one knows what anyone else's is but if you feel confident we could try it
I'd feel better if you figured out my h5/h6 and then knew for sure which was better
Do i11?
incriminate
Great clue
Agreed
I’m thinking frame
M6 museum to get us on art track
M5 matte
But then h5/h6 would be house/homes?
Dunno
Not thinking of ton of I/h/m words for frame so fits with the difficulty level of cluing
Finger is another option but I’d expect h4/h5 for hand/hands and k7 for knuckle
That sounds quite reasonable to me.
Unless you think of something else we can guess it and move forward and adjust if wrong
frame
What a great ****ing clue
Fantastic clue!!! And great guess!
Thought there was an I word somewhere but couldn't think of it, you nailed it bolt!
My H was hinge/hinged but good it wasn't needed
Yep, nice clue and great get nich.
nice! great clue
Round 6:
Cards used: 7
Guessers: nich/bolt
The Board:
UNKQ | DL | A | IH | P | UNKQ | M
The target word:
Someone pick a number 1-440 and go to spreadsheet and find that word and pm it to ibedrummin, amazingervin, doctor zeus and d1iabol1cal. Make sure it's not a word we used before by searching column H or this thread for the word
done
U12?
Why not just U3 and move on?
oh yh lol
