SIDES - Inaugural Game Thread

e7 first to mind
g9 also

great clue d1; that is a super hard word to clue for normally; shouldn't even be on the list

maybe Acrostic -> Jumble gets us to guess crossword and then sudoku as other newspaper puzzles?

I actually know what these are!

And there's a6 and the similar a9/a10 but we probably start with the g to unlock e

Yeah, I think we lucked out with the right letter for the right team there because I could see that turning into a disaster rather quickly lol.

Lol at that pm btw.

Agree that the g side is the way to go here.

Gotta do G9 imo

Galapagos

Feels like it's island/islands. But I'm thrown by e7.

A8 (Aleutian) or e4 (Elba) would make more sense.

Still, the only word I associate with Galapagos is "islands".

Islands...or evolution?

yh I think we go islands in review

I'm pretty sure it's not islands for reasons already mentioned. I'll stew a while on e7 possibilities and will bold "islands" later today when I get frustrated and give up.

island

0%

Someone fire e

Lol

emperor

Bold "penguin" if you agree.

penguin

100

I had animals in mind as things I associate with Galapagos, but I didn't realize penguin was one of them. I might have guessed turtles and gotten a 75% response instead of our 0% island.

Yeah Galapagos penguins are the only warm water ones

But more importantly, we needed d1 or IBD to be on the guessing team bc it was also a reference to an earlier game in this thread where we clued beach and hinted g9 Galapagos and they went penguin

You hinted Galveston and we thought you were hinting Galapagos!

But yeah, going with G9 here was a meta-clue.

Oh that’s right

G9 was Galveston; wouldn’t clue Galapagos for seagull
