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.

Ya I'm good to bold it. D5 or d6? D6 I'm thinking may be even better but both will hit at this point
I like d6 more than d5 but either gets us there and L2 would clear it up if we somehow need a second clue
Aight let's fire it
This is an opposite clue
demons
Angels
M7 Michael
L2 LA
other opposite D5 devil
Seems like enough to go with
angels
yep
good job all

Target sent
f4 came to mind of course, could work or maybe there's some super incredible clue even better
I feel like this should have an easy 1-ball clue, but nothing is coming to me. F4 is fine, m4 is another, but neither of them are locks by any means.
F4 to p9 seems like the play unless someone comes up with something better.
We could do f4 to m5 but all that's whatever imo
There's gotta be a super bink perhaps in another realm just need to think of it for a sec
There's an e8 in another realm, but it might be a bit of a shadowfax and it's not guaranteed to hit anyway.
F4>p9 imo.
F9 could bink it? Maybe?
Is f9 like f5?
Ok well I don't know what that is then.
I still like f4. I think they'll get it now anyway.
I havent been able to think of f9, I keep getting hung up on m5/m8
food
Food narrows it down to roughly 437,561 possibilities
It could be drink?
Drink then m4 is milk but why p9 and not just Pepsi?
The other clues don’t make sense for drink yet but not ruling it out
I was thinking p9 could be potassium and then our word is salt (and m4 mine for salt mine) or banana, but salt would pepper p6 and banana would have m6 monkey
Microwave could work
Panasonic would be p9
M4 is meal
M5/m8 metal/metallic; metal could make sense but not really metallic
Don’t love it
Plate or kitchen?
Pressure would be p8 so prolly not plate
We may just need to guess something to get a second clue
