Monster Hunter DLE

Monster Hunter DLE frames its puzzles as work for the Hunters' commission. In Classic mode you name a monster and the game compares it with the monster of the day across columns: element, ailment, weaknesses, class, maximum and minimum size, threat level, first appearance and generation. Each column is marked correct, partly correct or wrong, with higher or lower arrows for numbers, so each guess narrows the list.

The other three modes each have their own daily monster. Compendium shows a written description for you to match to the right monster. Surveyor shows a picture that gets sharper and brighter with every attempt. Roar plays the monster's call and asks you to name it by ear.

Before your first Classic guess the game asks which games you have played: main series, Frontier and spin-offs, with a switch to leave out small monsters, so the name list matches what you know. All players get the same monsters each day, a countdown shows the time to the next one, and a win chain counts the days in a row you have solved it. Each mode also has an infinite version for practice. The site runs in English and French, and it links to Zeldle, a Zelda game in the same style.

It suits hunters who know the monster field guide across generations, not just the latest game.
