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
it was a b4/b6/b7
so burn/burner/burning
ervin liked burn
ibd liked burning
d1 liked burner with burn the worst of the 3
so the burner phone idea is out since burn/burning were considered
it must have something to do with fire or cooking, but the opposite of fire or cooking
opposite of the burner on the stove is the oven part or broiler? or maybe a fridge?
they weren't thinking of burner at first but burn/burning so would be more like burning a meal than the burners...opposite of that is undercooking? dunno, I think I like the fire angle more than the cooking angle, but not sure what any confirmers could be
o6 could be oxygen but n6 isn't nitrogen since that's n9; gotta figure out n6 or q5/7 or k4/6 or d5/d7
multiple liked n6 so that seems like the most important to figure out
so by far the most famous fire extinguisher brand is Kidde, which is k5, not k4/k6
without a k5 confirmer, I think we should dump fire extinguisher idea
but I do think since bolt said this is tough with all 26 letters that fire is in the word otherwise having F for fire would be on his mind
so fireman, fire fighter, fire engine, etc. are options?
d5 drive for firetruck/fire engine but not sure d7...driving?
no L6 ladder is unfortunate tho
n6 could be nozzle
d5 douse
I dunno
I can't see words for other options and can't get fire extinguisher out of my head for some reason
any other options for us to bounce around? if not, may need a second clue if not fire extinguisher
Hrghhh I think i prefer fire truck or fire man?
Unless it is nozzle
Then it would be extinguisher - but - ladder is a bit of an outlier

I've never heard of kidde
Fireman would be easy - theres fireman sam for s3 which would be easy and then loads of others
So I think its unlikely that
Which makes me come back to fire extinguisher.....because firetruck is similarly quite easy i think?
They didnβt clue ladder or Backdraft, which puts me off of firemen and fire truck
I donβt think I can get off fire extinguisher without more clues unless you have a different idea to consider
Donβt think I would want to bold fireman/firetruck this turn given the lack of those confirmersβ¦
Letβs just do it
fire extinguisher
It def starts with fire bc bolt said theyβd say 50% which means we get one word and he said no letters of alphabet help which means fire is the one word we get or he woulda wanted an f
So fire ______ is our target the vast majority of the time
No ladder for truck
No Backdraft or Sam or other options
Yep. I guess it was easier than I thought. Good job!
Opposite Burner was a great clue; first thing to mind was the word
We prolly underuse opposite clues a bit
I guess since nobody really buys or uses extinguishers often (hopefully), Kidde wasnβt on anybodyβs mind but that woulda been an instant get but perhaps itβs a shadowfax
Nice job! Yea I've never heard of Kidde, another instance of whisperer's knowledge > mine + Google :p
I think Kidde wasn't on anybody's mind because nobody has ever heard of it lol.
Best sellers...under fire extinguishers.
That brand doesn't even exist here anyway.
Round 14:
Cards used: 16
Guessers: zeus/ervin
The Board:
DL | M | C | P | IH | JOVW | UNKQ
The target word:
I sent it to pogcrazy94, d1iabol1cal, ibedrummin, bolt2112
Opposite d3 seems solid.
Will be my last round before i'm away
Opposite D3 and L5 (probably a shadowfax though) first things I thought of
Opposite clue
dad
Lol its mum right or mother
