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.

Round 14:
Cards used: 13
Guessers: pog/ervin
The Board:
UNKQ | RG | IH | DL | JOVW | A | B
The target word:
I've sent to d1iabol1cal, ibedrummin, bolt2112, doctor zeus
b5 comes to mind
n5 may be better
I like n5 quite a lot
N5 seems fine with g7 and b5 as confirmers.
b6 is funny but shadowfaxy and kinda dumb
Another b6 is much better- but might take them the wrong way? Think it works
another b6 is ok but is more likely to take them the other way?
K7 could work if we wanna lose one from that side?
I think it's n5. Hopefully the confirmers help. U9 is another confirmer.
Yeah n5 seems like a lock clue
Let’s just do that and move on
neuro
Well it's not science/scientist because no B7 or B9 for biology/biologist
Only only neuro thing I can think of is neurosurgeon
B5 brain
B6 ?
B6 ?
B6 ?
K7 ?
U9 urologist?
Divergent was the first word that came to mind when I read clue
Surgeon makes a lot of sense for it to be a target word so I like your idea now that I see it
Yeah it's unlikely that Divergent is a target word lol
Any ideas what B6 x3 and K7 could be?
Not really but they said they were kinda shadowfaxy
I'm good to guess surgeon cause nothing else is coming to mind AT ALL for me
And like you said, we can rule out science and divergent won't be a target lol
Might be names of characters from ER/Scrubs those types of shows lol
But yeah it's probably surgeon
👍
Round 15:
Cards used: 14
Guessers: ervin/ibd
The Board:
RG | IH | DL | T | JOVW | A | B
The target word:
I've sent to d1iabol1cal, pogcrazy94, bolt2112, doctor zeus
G4 with I9 confirmer
We've had this word before.
oh yeah, last July; must have been the game where I forgot to copy list to sheet after finishing so the button doesn't exclude it
i'll rerand
Round 15 - REDUX:
Cards used: 14
Guessers: ervin/ibd
The Board:
RG | IH | DL | T | JOVW | A | B
The NEW target word:
I've sent to d1iabol1cal, pogcrazy94, bolt2112, doctor zeus
b7 is pretty good
g8 also
B10 should be a lock if it's not a shadowfax
B5 is another one, but it could go another way.
B7 is definitely the least likely to lead them astray, assuming it's the word I think it is.
