Celebrity Eyes

Celebrity Eyes is a small daily guessing game. Each puzzle is a single photograph of a well-known person, actors, musicians, athletes and other public figures, and it opens cropped so close that you see only the eyes.

You guess by typing the person's last name into a fixed grid, the way you would type a word in Wordle. Letters in the right place, letters in the name but in the wrong place, and letters not in it are coloured differently, so even a wrong name tells you something about the answer. Each miss also zooms the picture out a step, until by the last of your six tries most of the face is showing. If a person is best known by more of their name, the game says so.

Puzzles are numbered and change at midnight in your own time zone, with everyone getting the same person for that date. Since autumn 2026 the days run in themed weeks, from Marvel Week to Horror Icons, Movie Villains and Halloween Icons, and so far every face has been a film actor. The photos come from Wikimedia Commons and are credited to their photographers. Now and then the site also runs a one-off bonus puzzle beside the daily one.

A calendar button opens the Time Machine, where earlier days can be played as practice without touching your streak, and a stats panel keeps your streak and guess spread.

It mixes two kinds of clue, the picture and the letter colours, so you can solve it either by recognising a face early or by working out the name from the grid.
