SIDES - Inaugural Game Thread - Page 19 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

your board is wrong, tho

we carry over board from each round, adding new card(s) to the middle as needed; in this case, UNKQ was next on the list

your board has 2 As, and we already used one on axe, and it seems to just be randomized, not a carry over

Ah, I didn’t realize that, my bad. I thought we just randed seven cards from the card tab on Sheets.

Should I rand a new target word since we already had discussion about potential clues that aren’t part of this board?

I randed the card order at the beginning of the game

I just added to column O so others can start rounds if I'm not around; I put a space after the most recently added one; we always split the cards and add new ones in the middle

It's prolly best to do a new word, but I don't care too much

I’ll rerand and send the new target word to the group. Sorry for the mixup.

I just added it to column O, so it wasn't there before; I was just keeping it on a local notepad, but figure may as well just put it there so others can do next round

I6 and K6 combo probably nails it. Not sure how to get this in one.

i got a K8 that is decent, and kinda funny. it won't get it in one, but with I6 should get it

and yeah i can't think of any clue to nail it one, even with the whole alphabet

I think going k6 first has a chance of nailing it in 1 if they connect the dots. K6 then i6 if they miss is the way to go imo.

Thinking about it a little more, I honestly think they get this in 1 with the k6.

Komodo dragon
Iguana could be i6

Can’t be dragon bc they said no letter gets this in one but Smaug and Toothless and other famous dragons get it in one

Most likely lizard or reptile but seems like those could also have own word clues for some letters that bink

Gonna think some

It’s not chameleon

Too obvious to go iguana then Karma

Actually Karma first with i6 hint gets it in one every time

If reptile then they consider anaconda and alligator and other reptile clues

Lizard seems best so far but not ready to bold yet

I agree with your logic. It's never dragon. Lizard is the best option we have.

I feel like we are missing something but let’s just go lizard and see where we are at for speed’s sake

flying lizard

If it’s not lizard it’s prolly gecko; don’t think gila monster would be on the word list, but that would explain why Komodo over iguana

Iguana just seems straightforward for lizard which is why I’m nervous here
