About D'ohrdle

D'ohrdle is a quote game for people who know The Simpsons by heart. Each day it shows one line of dialogue, the same for every player, with the speaker, the place and the episode hidden behind question marks. Your job is to name the episode.

You guess by scrolling through the list of episodes, each shown with its season and episode number and title, and tapping one. A wrong guess reveals a new hint about the episode, the character who speaks the line or the location where it is said, so the quote gets easier to place as you go. You can take as many tries as you need; the score is how few you used.

The lines are parsed automatically from the episodes' screenplays, and the settings show which seasons the pool of dialogue is drawn from and the shortest line it will use. A Hard Mode gives fewer hints, a Practice mode beside the Daily one plays random lines without waiting for tomorrow, and your statistics, average guesses and streak are kept in the browser, with an export to move them to another device.

The game was made by torrobinson from an idea by cjshmyr, and runs free in the browser with no account. It suits fans of the classic seasons who can hear a line and picture the scene.

How to play D'ohrdle

1. Open D'ohrdle and stay on the Daily tab to see today's line of dialogue.
2. Read the quote and think which episode it comes from.
3. Scroll the list of episodes and tap the one you think it is.
4. If you are wrong, read the new hint about the episode, the speaker or the location, and guess again.
5. Keep going until you name the episode, then share your result.

Tips

• Who would say the line narrows it quickly: a Burns line points to a different set of episodes than a Ralph line.
• Use the location hint to rule out whole seasons.
• Turn on Hard Mode once the normal hints feel too generous.
• Use Practice mode to warm up on random lines.
