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.

nfi what A9 or A14 were
And don’t know what the “twist” was with A5
Archer coulda been OK for a6
If it was agent and nothing else I mighta got it lol
A14 was antiperspirant
Since we already had deodorant it should get you on secret, dove, degree, axe as brands that are actually words and then you eliminate from there
I was thinking capitalizing Agent may be better but dunno
A14 was antiperspirant
Since we already had deodorant it should get you on secret, dove, degree, axe as brands that are actually words and then you eliminate from there
Omg lol
Maybe I should be surprised we didn't get asparagus to think of vegetables ---> garden ---> the secret garden!
What other words besides those 5 can you think of for antiperspirant?
I thought narrowing down to 5 would be pretty good
Secret is a direct connection as probably the number one brand in the US for antiperspirant/deodorant
Nothing like asparagus to secret garden
No just looked it up
Dove
Old spice (not gonna be a word on the list)
Secret
Degree
So top 3 and #2 of possibilities
Seems good to me
I've just never used Secret and would never have thought of it lol, I forgot it was even a deodorant until just now
Or like sweat/perfume/fragrance/etc. Not sure why you think it only hits brand names.
Yeah it’s a female only brand
That’s true
Oh well; agent is obviously the most direct and got them to say it but without any other letters it’s always just a toss up
Agree agent was best shot
My original a6 was arcane but that can get them onto magic, relic, ancient, etc
No one has seen the Archer show eh
I know of it and have seen clips here and there but haven’t really watched it
Anonymous a pretty good clue
I thought the a6 might be affair, which I thought would be a pretty decent clue too.

The target word:
I've pmed the word to d1iabol1cal, ervin, bolt
There's c12 or h9 of course, but c6 seems lock the lockiest of locks.
H9 and c3 come to mind first
A5 also
Not sure what c6 is yet but I’m sure it’s great
Oh yeah, c6 is a lock
I may know c6? I'm not as familiar with it but if it's a thing it's easy?
There seems like a million things, c3 and a similar c6 to that, there's a c3/c4
Think a lot could get there
I don't think there's any reason not to just bold c6? It's not like there's gonna be a better clue.
