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.

Yeah, this really shouldn't be too hard to deduce imo.
eggs
First thought was melted and feta bc I like cheese in my eggs but no muenster and also just no
fowl and masala for chicken works much better but I’m not sold yet…why not fried? Why not hen?
Thinking there will be lots of f4/m6 that fit
Yeah, fowl is what came to me for f4 initially. Good catch on masala. Agreed that not naming h3 is problematic. I’d also say that, if this were chicken, then leading with fowl and having e3/4 as a confirmer is better than the other way around.
Will have to think more on this in a bit.
Unless it is hen and that’s why no h3 clue
If hen then m6 is mother
Egg mother is hen
Mother fowl is hen
Wish they’d use the “left of” and “right of” part of the game so we’d know
Other option for eggs is bacon for bacon and eggs but no m4 meat and no f4 or m6 that I can think of
F4 could be farm but they woulda said f4/f6 prolly
F4 could be fire but microwave clue for oven
Man gonna be so many options
Yeah I feel like we could go around for awhile finding options but hen works well
Wait audible
Was gonna say hen house for free extra word but then realized h is available so why no h5 for house?
F4 find for find eggs so Easter maybe?
Prolly not; not sure about m6 for Easter
Deviled eggs
Fire for devil
But no demon and seems we may have had devil
Eggs for humans also; baby/fetus/pregnancy stuff but don’t see anything great there
We already had cereal
Milk was done? If not then farm but no m4 for maid or m3 for milkman (go ask him if you wanna know the truth about the tale)
Pancakes? Would be flapjacks tho for sure
Not shell or white bc that’s egg not eggs
Eggs and m6 is maggot so larva but f3 is fly not f4 tho f4 is flea
F4 is frog but not sure of an m6 with that
Ugh
Eggs hits too many damn things and hits them as an obvious option when hearing the word
But hens lay eggs and are fowl so regardless of no house clue, we should prolly just go hen to save time
goose could work but you’d say egg not eggs
Bird eggs but egret
Scrambled eggs but m5 mixed
Hen seems best so far even if no house clue is scaring me
You think we go hen even without house or do we find an alternative?
you wanna just go hen? thoughts on lack of house? am I overthinking it?
Yes, I’m fine with hen.
hen house
0%
ugh, at one point I thought of caviar but forgot to come type it and ponder the m6 for it
Omg I didn't realize E and F were in same block and I tried to delete asap but you saw it
So yea who knows what happens now
Sorry I'm a mess this week
well ****, we gotta redo this round and take a 1 card penalty
you can't use the same card twice
EF was already used for Eggs
ah crosspost
no problem; it happens
feel like if clue was fish then we deduce eggs from e4 much easier than fish f4 from eggs, but dunno
at end of day I don't know an m6 for caviar so wouldn't have guessed it anyway unless ibd knows one
