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 job! T7 was teacher
I had f5 as an option (not opposite but for fortepiano) but didn’t wanna muddy the waters
Also had tuner but figured with harpsichord so good that any other hints had more chance of inadvertently hurting than helping
Round 24
Cards used: 24
Guessers: d1/bolt
The Board:
T | WF
The target word:
I've pmed it to amazingervin, pogcrazy94, doctor zeus, ibedrummin
Note: These are the last 2 cards in the game
t4, w5 are obvious
t7 version of t4 prolly better actually
There's 3 different t4s
Haven't figured out the w5
Ok one t4 turns into a t8 and is probably the furthest even tho in the general area so maybe disregard that
There's a t4 that's probably too general that turns into t8(which would be a misleading terrible clue lol)
Then there's a t4 that is fine and turns into a t7(that I've never used or heard used in my life until just now thinking for a clue but the meaning isn't unclear) that is probably the way to go?
I can't really think of anything except the obvious T4 and W5 so i'll be no help here
tenting
Camping?
W5 could be woods
T4/8 = trek/trekking?
I'm on board with camping.
camping
Zero percent
France
Wat
Btw nich, you bolded the first clue...
Good job
W[emoji2393] was woods or World for Camping World chain
Nm; it stopped
This game has been one for the ****ing ages
Round 25
Cards used: 25
Guessers: bolt/zeus
The Board:
EF
The target word:
I've pmed it to amazingervin, pogcrazy94, d1iabol1cal, ibedrummin
Note: This is the last card in the game
F5 or f7...f7 prolly a bit better.
Oh yea first thought was f6 but that's too general and won't do it
f7 seems like the perfect clue for this
f three is the obvious one for me
(Sorry tapatalk is doing emojis when I use numbers for some reason)
F3 pretty good but could go a couple of ways.
Do you know f7?
