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.

It does seem decent and not ambiguous because they know they're on the right track?
I can think of a few c6s, but none of them are close to locks so it's prolly something else.
So what are we doing?
Nobody knows c6 roll?
I guess could always go c9 but that’s not as good but could get them there
Actually the c8 version of c9 would be a lock also I think
Eh, the c8/c9 hits lots of stuff. I don't really care what we do tho, let's just do something.
If y’all don’t know c6 then c8 is next best option
I don't know if I know c6 or not. I can think of a few things, but certainly none of them are locks.
I have nfi what you two are talking about, so I’m good with whatever D1iab wants
Ugh; wish I hadn’t bolded roll
Think about this and you should be able to figure out c9/c8; the c8 form is far superior
Ok lemme do c6 then, it's prob what nich is thinking or can't be that bad anyway
You prob know it d1 and nich thinks higher of it than us is all. But when we really have it to the left of roll it does seem good(and again shouldn't be ambiguous due to hot/cold as it otherwise could be)
Ooooooo I know the c6(worse as c5) now
My c6 would also hit but require logic and thought and stuff, this does hit lol
Should I bold it?
Do you know my c6 D1? The...other one maybe? But...also should hit?
Aight well tell me which one to bold, both that I'm thinking of should hit
Idk if u know the other one I'm thinking of nich. I do like your c6, it's less technical than mine but at the same time only 1 thing fits
If it only hits one thing, then go for it.
curved
placed to the left of roll
Got to be croissant?
croissant
It was almond lol
