Ippodle

Ippodle is one of the character -dles on animedle.org, from the same family as Frierendle, Hunterdle, Chainsawdle and Fairy Tail Dle, and a fan project that Hajime no Ippo's trademark holders do not endorse. One hidden character a day is shared by every player, changing every 24 hours by your time zone.

Each guess fills a row with the character's picture and properties: gender, height, birth year, homeland, gym, weight class, combat style, stance, total wins, occupation and first arc. Green tiles match and red ones do not, and arrows on ordered properties such as height, birth year, weight class and total wins point toward the answer. After 14 guesses a first-appearance hint unlocks, naming the round (chapter) where the character first shows up, and the line under the board names yesterday's character.

The roster holds 95 characters: the boxers of the series and the people around them, from Japanese gym fighters to overseas champions. The page shows a full-screen ad when you press Play, often another after your first guess, and carries ad slots around the game. A few labels in the data differ only in wording (one boxer's stance reads Orthodox Style, another's Orthodox Stance), so a red tile there is not always a real difference. On a phone the game sits in a short frame that you scroll inside. It suits boxing manga readers who remember weight classes, gyms and win records, not only Ippo and his gym mates.
