I've found a few ways to generate the colors online, but not sure how to randomize the words.

I devised a Google Docs to randomize words and the colors. I used a list that was presented earlier, but if there's a more robust list, I could update the randomizer to include them.

Brilliant! Would you like to join us at Codenames VII? We are in search of a 4th player.

Codenames has been tried with variations on the word cards. The 5 by 5 grid can be filled with anything, be it Dixit cards, Pokémon cards, or even board games. Has anyone tried it with Such A Thing cards? The game rubs a bit the wrong way with me because disputes come up so often about which description fits. This conflict would be mitigated quite a bit if the room for interpretation is explored by members of the same team. Only the range of clues would have to be defined, but I think the original Such A Thing ruleset by which something like a horned apple is invalid should be good to go.

EgorK, LaLight, Hugovj, and popsofctown, you guys should set up a game to play together.  It seems like you all wanted to play if there was interest.

One time while we were playing, we theorized on playing Codenames using Dixit cards instead. We never did.

I suspect a pictures version would be more concrete than the Dixit cards.

Then someone suggested using Cards Against Humanity, and we just dispersed and never talked to each other again.
