Actorle Storyboard
Put frames from the film of the day in the order they appear.
Every day: One film a day, the same for every player: put six frames from it in the order they appear on screen, in six guesses. New puzzle: Midnight, local time (the puzzle follows the date on your device).

Storyboard is one of the daily games on Actorle. Each day it names a film and shows you six frames from it, and you drag them into the order they come in the film, with six tries to get it right. It suits people who remember how a story unfolds as much as what it is called.
About Actorle Storyboard
Storyboard is one of the daily games on Actorle, the actor-guessing site made by László Kiss, alongside Fill The Grid, StarWords and Cinections. Where most film dailies hide the title and ask you to name it, Storyboard tells you the film up front and tests something else: whether you remember the order things happen in.
Each day you get six frames from the film of the day, shuffled. You drag them into the order you think they appear and press Make a guess. Frames that are right, counting from the first one, lock in place, so each try narrows the problem to the frames still loose. You have six guesses in all. The frames themselves come from Shotdeck, a library of film stills.
The puzzle changes at midnight on your own device's clock, and every past day sits in a free archive. The Actorle app for iPhone and iPad carries the same daily Storyboard, and signing in keeps your streak in step between the app and the site. Actorle Plus, an optional membership, removes the site's ads and adds streak repair; the daily puzzle is free.
It plays quickly, often in a couple of minutes, and rewards people who have seen the film recently or more than once. If you prefer naming a film from its frames, Framed is the closer match; Storyboard is for the viewer who knows the plot beat by beat.

Tips
- Place the opening and the ending first: the first frame locks in and makes every later guess easier.
- Look at costumes, injuries, daylight and setting: a character's look often changes through a film.
- Use your early guesses to test the frames you are least sure of; the locked frames tell you how far your order holds.
- Missed a day or do not know the film? Try another date from the archive.
