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.

on it
im getting a lot of safety issues with your app Nich super weird
Sorted it
ooft tough one
L6 is ok but is a bit shadowfaxy
D8 with M5/7 as a confirmer should do it. I’m not sure what L6 is yet.
I'm good w whatever, feeling a little sick so will be on sparingly for hopefully only a day or 2
dressing
First thought is salad but no L7 confirmed for lettuce means it's probably not salad.
dressing can mean a few things
salad dressing, but no lettuce means prolly not
other dressings like condiments since no c allowed; so like ketchup or mustard could be clued this way; not ketchup bc there is an m and no mustard clue (m7 but they said m5/7 which means those are same word just with ed at the end or drop e/y and add ing, etc...not a word like mustard)
dressing as in stuffing; so turkey, thanksgiving, feast type words
dressing as in getting dressed...so words around that
gotta give it some thought for what m5/m7 could be (and L6 shadowfax)
You also dress a wound
Bandage, gauze, band-aid
Medic/medical would be m5/m7
Prolly not the brand band-aid and for gauze you gotta go medical gauze so prolly just m7
So I think I like bandage best; dressing is another way to say it
Not sure on L6 but something in the realm of ligature seems likely
Thoughts? Other ideas on the exact word if we think medical dressing is the meaning?
This works. I thought of dressing a wound as well but I couldn't figure out M5/M7
ok we'll try it; if it's something else they can give us the m and we can adjust
bandage
Ding ding ding
Excellent work
Wow crazy, great logic and guess
great clues; and perfect that L was available so we could eliminate salad words and not get boxed in there
Round 3:
Cards used: 2
Guessers: nich/ibd
The Board:
EF | IH | P | B | RG | A | M
The target word:
Anybody but ibd, please rand a word from the sheet and send it bolt2112, d1iabol1cal, amazingervin and doctor zeus
sheet link:
Good job
The m5/7 I was thinking of was mummy/mummies
Sent
Oh that’s so much better
F4 or e4 are both good starts, but neither get there on their own unless they can deduce some stuff. I think e4 followed by m6 or something is the way to go unless someone has a banger.
No bangers in immediate two rounds so I'm happy with your plan
We go e4 and it's 65% that Nich figures out f4 and binks it.
