Can you play Codenames: Duet with three players?
The designer says the game suits groups under six, and the rulebook describes the same two-sided split.

Yes. Duet is built for two players or two teams, but the rulebook's variant for three or more divides the group into two sides that sit opposite each other. Each side sees only its own side of the key card, and it may talk over its guesses without revealing what its key shows.
