Guess today's character in 8 tries. Each try shows what matches (🟩), what's close (🟨) and what's higher or lower (⬆️⬇️).

Try 1/8

The Character of the day is a deduction game: you offer names, and each guess compares six attributes with the mystery character's — gender, show, that show's genres, its decade, its country of origin and the number of appearances. The feedback isn't merely right or wrong: a yellow cell flags a partial overlap, an arrow gives a direction. Read properly, they let you narrow down fast, even starting from an unrelated character.

How to play

  • One character to find, eight guesses. Each guess compares six attributes against the answer.
  • Green: identical. Yellow: partial. Arrow: the real value is higher or lower.
  • A new character every day, the same one for everyone.

Three ways to play better

  1. Your first guess should map the field, not win: offer a character from a long, well-known show to harvest the most arrows.
  2. The episode column is the most informative. An up arrow instantly eliminates every character from a mini-series.
  3. A yellow cell on genre means "partially": the answer shares a genre with your guess without matching it exactly.

Where the data comes from

2,579 characters are playable: 932 from 233 shows with at least 2,000 votes, and 1,647 from 549 movies with at least 8,000 votes — Rocky, Anakin Skywalker and Forrest Gump finally made it in. The criterion is billing order, not longevity, and names are deduplicated globally: a character shared by two titles would be impossible to settle. For a movie, the episodes column becomes its saga size.
