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.

Btw when a clue is that obvious, I don't mind if you don't wait for me.
Round 16:
Cards used: 19
Guessers: ibd/d1
The Board:
JOVW | RG | A | C | M | P | DL
The target word:
I've pmed the word to ervin, zeus, bolt
NOTE: THESE ARE THE LAST SEVEN CARDS IN THIS GAME
d3 to p4 could work
j4/j7 could help as well, but won't get there on their own
Yea I understand and like the d3 - p4 plan
hmm I don't unless its d3 in which case "eh"
how about L7?
dog
Aww man, I was totally going to screenshot dog before it was bolded. Thought maybe it could be dog—>paws, which could be claws.
Haven’t given thought to claws in the context of the other cards, but I’ll take a look.
It’s not nail(s) because no P6 polish
J4/J7 could help. Seems like maybe J7 = J4+ing
If that is true then l7 could also be leaping.
Any more thoughts? I really doubt the answer is claws, but I've got absolutely nothing.
Sorry, travel day for work. Will think about it in a little bit
All I could come up with was show (show jumping, dog show) and P4 could be plot. But if L7 is leaping, then show doesn’t make sense anymore.
Jumping
Joshing
Jacking
Jesting
Jailing
I’m sure there are other J4-ing words, but can’t be many. And of the ones above, I gotta believe it’s jumping.
Between claws and show I’m on show, but I certainly don’t expect it to be correct or even close.
Maybe we should just guess animal or whatever and see how far off that is. Hopefully p4 will make things clearer.
Sure, go ahead and bold whatever
Does whistle work? P4 could be pipe. I don't know what the other clues would be, but maybe you can think of something. Otherwise I'm ready to be done with this.
Show is still all I can think of, with P4 being plot or play. I can’t think of a J4/7 or L7 that hits whistle.
No way this is show. Show jumping is a thing, but show jump isn't really anything.
You can just bold whatever word you like best tho...we aren't getting anywhere and need to keep this moving.
I didn’t say I thought it was show. I said that was the only thing I could think of.
show
0%
Someone bold p4 to go to right of dog
Worst case m6 if they still miss
