About Disordle

Disordle frames each day's puzzle as a patient case: for example a 55 year old man presenting with a disorder related to meningococcal infection. The answer is a specific disorder, and the case is the same for every player that day; the page shows how many people have solved it and how many hours are left.

Each guess of a disorder reveals the features it shares with the answer across four tiles: Signs and Symptoms, Diagnostics, Medications and Therapies. Features are ranked by how specific they are to the disorder (Important, Moderate, Minor), not by how common they are, and you also get a proximity percentage telling you how close your guess is in feature space. The game warns that a strong association is not always causal, giving partial hearing loss as a signal for contact dermatitis because of hearing aids.

One hint per puzzle reveals the disorder nearest to the answer, at the cost of your guess bonus. Puzzles carry a difficulty label up to Brutal, a challenge mode makes things harder, and a Random Puzzle mode offers extra cases. Stats track streaks and win rate.

It suits medical students, clinicians and curious players who like a hard deduction game; the site itself says solving even one puzzle is an achievement.

How to play Disordle

1. Read the case: age, sex and the related condition.
2. Guess a disorder; matching features light up in the four columns with their importance.
3. Use the proximity percentage to tell whether you are getting closer.
4. Name the exact disorder within eight guesses, or use the one hint per puzzle if stuck.

Tips

• Start with a broad disorder in the right family to light up many shared features.
• Important features are the most specific; focus your next guess on what explains them.
• Medications and diagnostics often separate close candidates better than symptoms.
• Remember the warning: a matching feature can be linked to the disorder without being caused by it.
