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.

good clues
I think I know all the hints and am leaning towards j7 as the target, but I'll see what zeus thinks
well I don't know h12
maybe h12 is hydrotherapy
could be a few options here with j7 best, and since they had jovw card and clued w9 but not j7 I have to assume j7 is the actual target or they would have eliminated it if it was s3 or s5
well I thought he was around but now he's gone again
will give him some more time before bolding jacuzzi
hot aquatic = hot tub
whirlpool
water
hydrotherapy
could be bathtub, spa, sauna or a few other things, but jacuzzi is the best connection for the clues they gave and they didn't mentioned jacuzzi but did whirlpool, and that was their target word to get to so it's the best option
Sap sorry was bed time
Yh makes sense lets do it
jacuzzi
Well done
Wooo nice! I was thinking hot amenity but aquatic worked great

w7 came to mind, less so w5, but may only work as confirmers
w7 could be ok tho w nich guessing could to have that in the mix
c4 also really strong, just maybe not so much from guessers' side as it is from our side
As confirmers both huge
W10 is a winner if we have a couple decent confirmers.
V7, related C6 and V9.
C7 confirmer for those.
I’m really digging w10, and I think they can this.
My w10 is like Erv’s w7/5, but direct and super strong imo
Aerated and amenity are good ones too. I had thought about aquatherapy, but was pretty sure it wasn’t a compound word like hydrotherapy. So then I thought aquatic and hot—>aquatic made a good bit of sense to me!
Yeah, this seems extremely gettable with tons of options. W10 isn't coming to me, but I'm fine with it if you're confident.
Power rankings
1. Aquatic
2. Aerated
3. Amenity
But with w9 we prolly get there with any thanks to h3 clue
lol of course there was 3 possible A7s and I couldn't think of any of them
I'm on board with w10
