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.

in usa tap and water faucet are synonymous
like if you told the plumber "the tap is leaking" or "the water faucet is leaking" it's the same thing
although lately i have been questioning my connection to reality. so i could be wrong
water faucet
Filthy is reality
I’d say quite warm, pretty damn near hot. ~80%? What do the rest of you think?
I dunno
Hard to know how they will interpret whatever percent we throw out
Maybe 80%?
I like my C4s and C9 better now than I did before. I still don’t know what the other Cs or As are.
Current Board:
C | EF | IH | C | A
I see no e or f clues
Still have my c7/c9
And then there is an a8
Definitely 75%+ of the way there I'd say.
Not really sure what to clue now. I think c4 should work, but I was sure that Trevi would work too, so what do I know.
Oh! C4 is good
I think that is the best clue by far
Yea they're anywhere from warm to very hot but definitely on the right track
I'm cool w whatever y'all wanna fire, I can't clue again :p
Outta curiosity is this the same C4/C9?
c9 is the ticket
The c4 I'm thinking of has no c9...I have no idea what that is.
I do know another c9, but it's way different.
I am thinking of two different C4s that are very similar. I think they're both clever, but I'm still partial to C9.
I’m thinking of two very similar C4s that literally combine to make my C9. So I’m not sure if we’re all just talking about different ****, haha.
C4 is really strong for this word but it doesn’t relate to a c9 afaik
Which means I don’t know yours and you don’t know mine.
If others know yours and like it, then someone (probably you) should bold it soon.
Mine is one of the main things people associate with the word
I was thinking of saving my bold for a bc I haven’t seen others say they have an a, but if y’all don’t know mine maybe I should just bold bc c4 is likely our best clue on the board
Just bold it. It’ll clear a remaining c from the board and you think it’s the best clue.
coin
gotta be fountain, right?
fountain
