SIDES - Inaugural Game Thread - Page 42 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

So a bridle is either the leather thing that goes in a horse's mouth or it's the leather straps attached to the thing that goes in the horse's mouth. Or it's both of those. And for the life of me I can't think of a T6, B6, B7, or L4 that is related to anything to with horses. And I can't even think of a D3, which should be pretty easy to come up with.

Then there's a broader definition of bridle which is a verb, and it's something like showing distaste or disdain or being offended. "Bolt and Filthy both bridled at the suggestion that they couldn't quickly come up with the answer to the game on 2P2." So maybe we should be going down that path.

oh good thought on bridle the verb, like to get offended. that might be the direction they're trying to lead us

would be funny if they meant bridal, and misspelled it lol

and idk if it makes a difference, or if im even right lol .... but i don't think the bridal is the part that goes in the mouth. i think that's called "the bit", which might be part of the bridle? lol idk... but i think the bridle is the headgear that connects the reigns to the bit, and the horse's head

lead is a UK word for leash that isn't really used in the states

I'm still stuck on d3 being dog. And a bridle for a dog is a leash.

Unless b6 is the same thing as the L4s, but I can’t think of a b6 that is an L4

does this post work with leash?

what are lots of B words that can do the same thing as dog? breeds of dogs? like bulldog or basenji?

and what are 2 L4 words that get it every time? lead is one, but what is the other?

but if it's not leash, i can't think of another good guess

i can't think of anything if the clue is for the other meaning of bridal, getting defensive

i think we're gonna have to guess leash either way, and probably be wrong, but sounds like we'll get it on the next one

If it's bridle the verb I think they clue "bridled" to distinguish it.

And if they misspelled bridal that's not on us.

The L4s were lead or line

I was a bit worried you’d go collar or even muzzle for bridle since reins are more like the leash but y’all figured out lead and d3 dog was good that I initially missed, worried about bridle getting you on horse terms

And t6 was indeed tether

No way DZ doesn’t get this. Filthy too probably!

L9 does it for sure. I still want to go A7, but I’ll back off.

I don’t think I know your a7 yet, but intrigued

I know an a7, but a few words it can get so I don’t think it can be your a7

If you knew it you’d love it in this spot. But yeah, I wouldn’t clue it with most of the rest of the team guessing.
