About Actorle TV

Actorle TV comes from the maker of Actorle, the daily film game where you name an actor from a masked filmography. This version swaps films for TV. Every player gets the same mystery actor each day.

The board is a list of the series the actor has been in. Titles are hidden, but each row shows the show's genres, the years it ran and its rating. A long-running drama from the 1990s, a recent comedy with a high rating and a short-lived crime series already tell you a lot about the kind of career you are looking at. You type actors' names and pick from the suggestions, and each guess brings you closer to the answer.

The site has an archive of past days, and it links to its sister games on actorle.com, including Cinections, Storyboard and Fill the Grid.

It suits Actorle players who watch more television than film, and anyone who remembers which actors turn up across many series.

How to play Actorle TV

1. Open Actorle TV and look at the day's list of TV series, with titles hidden.
2. Read the genres, years and ratings for clues to the actor's career.
3. Type the name of an actor you think it might be and pick them from the suggestions.
4. Use what each guess reveals to narrow it down.
5. Name the mystery actor, then share your result or play past days from the archive.

Tips

• The earliest year on the list tells you roughly when the actor's career began.
• A long run of one show with many years usually means a lead role in a hit series.
• Guest roles in crime and medical dramas are common; do not let them throw you.
• Use the archive to learn how the lists for well-known TV actors look.
