Linkdle English daily game in play: the starting Wikipedia article Axiom shown with its links, the target Climatology and 0 Jumps in the bar above

Linkdle is a daily Wikipedia race. Each day it picks a starting article and a target article, the same for everyone in your language, and you reach the target by clicking only the links inside the articles, in as few jumps as you can.

About Linkdle

Linkdle is a browser game built on Wikipedia. The goal is to get from the day's starting article to the day's target article by clicking only the links in the text, and your score is the number of jumps it took.

What sets it apart is language: it runs in 62 Wikipedia editions, and each language has its own daily pair, shared by everyone who plays in that language. When you finish, you can share your jump count. Beyond the daily game you can build custom challenges with your own start and target and send them to friends.

It suits anyone who likes the classic Wikipedia race, and players who want to practise reading in another language.

Tips

Aim for big general pages, such as a country or a century, which link to almost everything.
Think about what kind of page would mention the target, and look for a route to that.
