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 diff
I can't think of anything that's Clarice except from Clarice Starling from Silence of the Lambs
Starling is a bird but if all those clues are bird related i'll be useless
Will think about it more after some sleep
Maybe it's just silence?
opposite c9 - caterwaul?
t12 - ?
c9 - ?
t11 - tranquility similar to p5 - peace
c6 - censor
t8 never used version of t11 - tranquil/tranquility
opposite c10 - communicate?
g9 confirmer - ? goes with p4 - ?
No G6 golden confirmer though hmm
My first thought was agent, since she’s in the FBI. Haven’t dug into any possible confirmers for that, tho.
I can’t imagine it’s bird-related. Could be penguin seagull, but unlikely.
The silence idea is interesting. In that vein, lamb could also be up for grabs. But the work you’ve put in on confirmers for silence is impressive.
Oh yeah I forgot she's an FBI agent
No C3 (CIA) or T6 (travel) though
no C5 (chops) for lamb either
Silence
Boom
great get and banger clue!
lolme going over all the Silence characters/actors but forgetting to look for Clarice
g9 with p4 was Garfunkel with (Paul) Simon for Sound of Silence, the song (no D for the Disturbed cover)
opposite c9 was cacophony; my thinking was that opposite noise is silence, which could be better path than going for quiet/tranquil words and synonyms that have many options for answers...but going for a Silence reference is best, just didn't think of Clarice
also think censor is a decent clue as well, which I didn't realize was the c6
Silence of the Lambs
Sound of Silence
Silence Dogood (no D)
Silence is Golden (confirmer since not a side letter)
etc
This is one of our best moments in Sides history. Great clue, great solve.
Great get!! Way to solve all the other words too!
My first t11 was tranquility, the next t8/t11 I thought of was taciturn and the never heard of "taciturnity" :p
Nice!

Round 10:
Cards used: 10
Guessers: pog/bolt
The Board:
T | RG | M | JOVW | UNKQ | EF | P
The target word:
Sent to d1iabol1cal, doctor zeus, amazingervin, ibedrummin
T5? Maybe
Pretty tough
This seems like it should be easier than it is.
T7 comes to mind, but it's the kind of clue where they may think of the word immediately or not at all. P7 should get them to at least think of the word, so maybe that with a few confirmers will be good enough. E5 would get it if they miss.
P7 is super close, but unable to get there on its own imo
Hard to find more without a blocker
G8 is good but could be a shadowfax
f4 is good confirmer but doesn’t get to this on its own of course
t4 ain’t bad
This seems like it should be gettable but haven't able to think of anything
Will mention p3 as a ballpark, or could even opposite p3 but i don't think that'd work
T7 I quite like but it's a bit dumb
a t5(from t4), a t6...but only works if they know the target already
feels like a lot of confirmers but need to give them something to think of the actual target
coming in from the left gives us a safety breaker in case it all goes south
