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.

N5 is escaping me as well. Want to just guess the less obvious apricot?
apricot
Can’t believe y’all got that
I’m not an apricot guy and would never have thought of it
Oh sweet!
What was n5?
I’ve heard it was a nutty fruit; not sure if true tho since nobody got that
Yeah, I wouldn't have got that haha.
My d5 was dried, which is a thing
Ah yeah, I shoulda thought of dried. Just assumed it was drupe and never thought about it again.
no pressure on us to build on the amazing apricot get and make this our best round yet...
Round 2:
Cards used: 1
Guessers: bolt/ibd
The Board:
IH | RG | C | A | T | DL | EF
The target word:
I've pmed the word to ervin, zeus, d1
f6, h7
f6 into L6 if they don't get it
Great job on apricot wow!!!
I think so?
I'm good with that.
And if they don't know it then l6 is a lock anyway.
H7 yh
I cant think of f6- if its better go for it
Yeah Ervin posted so had a chance to contribute
Gonna move this along
feller
Well it’s not pitcher otherwise it’d be Feller
It was a joke, because Bob Feller. It’s definitely not a baseball clue.
The only thing I can think of that isn’t slang or deep south speak for fellow is that a feller could be someone who fells something.
If L6 is a lock like D1iab said, maybe it’s logger and the target is lumberjack. A lumberjack fells trees (is a feller).
Not sure what h7 might be in that context, but I’ll think about it.
Feller to me is just another way of saying fellow.
Lumberjack seems decent.
H7 hacksaw maybe? Meh
I’m good with lumberjack if you are and we can adjust with the lock l6 if needed.
lumberjack
Great job!
Heyoooooo
Excellent clue and confirmer!
