Dotadle

Dotadle is a browser game in which you guess a hero from Valve's Dota 2 each day. It comes from Benjamin Widawski, the maker of LoLdle, and has run since December 2023, and uses the same layout with Dota's heroes. It is a fan project: the site notes that Valve does not endorse or sponsor it.

In Classic mode you type any hero and see how it compares with the hidden one on gender, species, position, main attribute (Strength, Agility, Intelligence or Universal), range type, complexity as rated in the game, and release year. Positions are the roles a hero is commonly played in, based on recent pick rates. Green tiles match, orange tiles match in part, red tiles do not, and an arrow on release year points to the right year. As you guess, clues open: a quote after 6 tries, an ability icon after 12 and a crop of a loading screen after 18.

The other three modes each have their own hero. Quote shows a line the hero says in a match, and you can play the audio once you have it right. Ability shows the icon of one of the hero's spells, with a clue that gives the spell's name. Loading Screen shows a cropped part of a loading screen, which may come from one featuring several heroes, and shows it in full after you win.

Dotadle tracks a daily streak and statistics, lets you choose a Europe or America time zone for the reset, and can be played with its screens in 28 languages, from French and Polish to Japanese and Russian. It suits Dota 2 players who want a short daily test of hero knowledge outside a match.
