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.

Not capitalized so not the Heart song, car, gun or nickname
F4 not gonna be fish
B4 could be bass but prolly ends up being something else
Know for their teeth and I kinda associate them with eels and rays…sharks and piranha also
F4 could be fins or food or something else
Not seeing anything obvious yet; key is they all knew barracuda so it’s more specific than just fish where bass or fish woulda been the clue
No e3 eel hint; nothing for unkqpe letters
So no piranha also known for teeth and as predators
No brush or brushing for teeth
Scuba diving or snorkeling could be options, but no flippers (but fins maybe)
B7 Barrier capitalized especially with f4 confirmer gets us on Great Barrier Reef for coral, scuba diving, snorkeling
I thought piranha was an ok idea...
f4 b4 can be fish bite
Biting to left of fish would be piranha imo
But it’s an option still
But again f4 is not fish
So what is f4 if piranha?
Food fuel flip flop free
Maybe whale for free willy thing?
b4 blue
Idk if other stuff works
Could be something like food/feed
I can think of some more f4 words
Never whale
Woulda clued beluga
Anything in particular barracudas do? I am no expert
f4 can't be fish confirmer for barracuda because barracuda is a type of fish; it'd be like cluing pug with dog confirmer
biting in to fish would be piranha line to take
barracuda reminds one of piranhas due to the biting
makes fish redundant
nevermind, there is another f4 he thought of, which we don't know yet
I'm not sure what B9 is, is it similar to B4?
B4 and F4 100% gets it, B4 on it's own probably gets it if they can figure it out
bite and fish 100% gets it...another post for piranha
different b4, but maybe just bass
so main thing to figure out is what is f4 with barracuda bc it's not fish
anything scuba related woulda mentioned breathing, etc.
and since barracuda can bite, not really a top of mind fish for scuba anyway
if the word is dolphin then f4 fins works (Miami Dolphins are called the Fins; like MetsandFinsFan in POG)
but if it were dolphin they go bottlenose every time so no
f4 food but barracuda just eat other fish I think
no p5 for Petey Piranha from Mario, but they didn't know Tanooki either, so doesn't mean it's not piranha
I'd feel better if I knew what f4 was, but I am OK with guessing piranha and getting another clue if wrong if you are
or we can wait to see if inspiration sparks, but barracuda most evokes a piranha I think and many of them knew b9 right away, so there has to be a strong connection to barracuda from the actual word
back to Mario, f4 could be fire, as some of the piranha plants shoot fireballs at you
prolly not tho
Yea it's one of those that may just be hard to think of but I'm kinda with you on most signs point to piranha
piranha
Nice work
My B9 was Brazilian btw, with f4 fish confirmer
Haha, I thought it was barracuda with film as the confirmer.
boooooom
I had barracuda with fish ass confirmer
I was with the "fish is redundant" group. After cluing barracuda, it occurred to me that "fang" would have been an excellent f4 2nd clue.
good clue
and nice job calling out piranha as best option, ervin
Round 13:
Cards used: 17
Guessers: ervin/d1
The Board:
UNKQ | A | RG | M | DL | P | EF
The target word:
I've sent it to pogcrazy94, ibedrummin, doctor zeus, bolt2112
u8 first to mind; may be better as confirmer
I also like P6 as a fun one if we have to use p, but it's not open yet
