One player thinks of a word and gives some kind of definition of it (it's up to them how clear or confusing they want to make that definition; the ideal is probably for it to be not quite as clear as a dictionary definition without being as confusing as a riddle, but we'll see how it goes). Other players try to guess the word, and the winner posts the next puzzle (unless they choose to forgo their turn).
First definition:
An adjective to describe someone who's in a bad situation and can't do anything about it.

A name any man could bear.
I don't know if it'll pass muster, but I'll try it. That said, I've just realized something Etaoin probably noticed when we were speaking about that potential new game: it's pretty much crosswords hints lol. Well, depending on how we play exactly. Ideally it should be fun and hard to play even without making up far-fetched definitions.

A name any man could bear. Hmmm... pseudonym? That said, I've just realized something Etaoin probably noticed when we were speaking about that potential new game: it's pretty much crosswords hints lol. I thought the same thing a bit earlier—and also that it would be quite a bit easier than the kind of crosswords she's used to. |

Not bad, but nope. also that it would be quite a bit easier than the kind of crosswords she's used to. Hopefully! |

Good guess, but if it were correct, it would mean my hint wasn't as precisely worded as I'd like to think it is (not that it's super precise either). |

That's not a word, though. Getting desperate.

Webster lists it as a noun. I think it can be argued it's a word, but then again, what's a word anyway?
John Doe is correct.

My next hint would have been that there was a tiny bit of a trap, which indicates that some measure of guilt was felt, in my defense.
