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
p9
P is the right way my A9 is a bit too much of a long shot and could send them completely the wrong way
There are things like e5 etc. that kinda get them their but probably the wrong word
E6 pretty good start. Agreed that p10 or p7 should get there just about every time.
F5 and f7 decent lead ins and/or confirmers as well. I’d probably say f5 is the better clue over e6 and f7.
Assuming p10 from p6 that'll definitely get it and actually easy to think of(or figure out anyway) from our side, would be absolutely impossible to think of from guessers' lol
I think I know e6 but they would probably think of 2 other words first, but considering we're talking of clueing p6 and p10 as the main thing maybe from there they could logic it?
f5 is my first thought for EF options
it probably doesn't get them there because can hit a lot of things, but it ensures they get p10 and probably other options that we go for...so good confirmer but need to actually clue it first
I haven't figured out f5
I'm thinking the e6 route is the way ----> they'll think of p6 but since we're talking about it know that's not the target - will they be able to figure out p10 from it that we'd want to clue? it's a tough word but we'd be giving them a shot at least
e6 is fine with me as well; similar clue to p6 and gets in the domain enough
they may get it from just e6 if lucky or else we should be able to get it with 2nd clue
I think e6 is better than f5
All good for e6 should I fire?
Sure
eclair
None of the confirmers are coming to me. None.
This is what I got. An eclair is a French pastry. It's a dessert. It's stuffed with cream filling and has a chocolate layer on the outside.
Well p6 is probably pastry.
And all of them seemed to know what e6 is, so either it's pretty closely related to eclair or else some of them had a different e6 in mind.
E3 could be egg and the answer is cream. An egg cream is a drink that's fairly popular in the northeast US.
I'm not coming up with other qualifiers.
F5 could be flour and p10 could be patisserie, which all works well enough for bakery. Only problem with that is that I would think they'd normally pluralise eclair/pastry. No clue yet on other confirmers.
No p3 for pie on bakery.
I'm stuck on the fact that they all seemed good with e6 so this has to be fairly direct, doesn't it?
We know it's not pastry. And it's never France/French. What does that leave us with?
Pie is not a very good clue for bakery because it hits about a billion words.
The only other things I can really see for eclair are like chocolate/cream/custard, and neither of those really make much sense here. Also, p10 is supposed to be a slam dunk and patisserie is all I can come up with for that.
Pudding?
What about it?
Well I was thinking of pudding as another possibility.
But we've been thinking about this wrong. P6 is the key. Assuming it is pastry, how could the answer possibly be cream, custard, or chocolate?
Either it's a different P6 or else it's a different kind of pastry and it resembles an eclair.
Creampuff? Cannoli?
I still think bakery makes more sense than anything.
Also this post is a big point towards patisserie as p10 since I assume that is some french variation of pastry:
I'd like to figure out some of the other clues, but if e3 = egg, f5 = flour, p6 = pastry and p10 (lock) = patisserie, then what else could it be but baker/bakery?
Let's try bakery.
