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.

W8
W9
M8
M5
J4
I like w8, but this is not that easy.
W8 was also my first thought, can't think of anything else tbh
M8 is a great confirmer for w8, but it’s always so hard with these longer words to land the confirmer. Unless you’re D1iab and nail stuff like patisserie on the reg.
I thought of a m9 that I think is an absolute banger
It's hard to think of. If you think of it there's an o7 with the same idea which will absolutely get them in the domain and likely to our target but we would do m9
The best I have is M8 which is a pretty good confirmer.
Yeah W8 then M8 for confirmer is best I can think of
No idea what AE's M9/O7 is
Lemme do it imo, it has a good chance of hitting cause they'll definitely think of the target
How can I hint at it...umm...there could be a question as to if it's a legal clue or not - but it seems completely, clearly legal and fine to me
I'm fine with Ervin's clue, though I have no idea what it might be.
Yeah sure go for it AE
multi-car
Maybe motor or mower for m5
Banger clue erv and m8 a strong confirmer
Is that even a word
Im drunk
Will set up a drunk sheep later hopefully
Ok garage before drunk Zeus holds a random word
