About Narutodle

Narutodle is a browser game in which you guess a character from the Naruto manga and anime every day, covering both Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. Benjamin Widawski, who makes LoLdle, built it on the same format. It is a fan project, and the site states that Masashi Kishimoto does not endorse or sponsor it.

Classic mode compares each guess with the hidden character across columns such as gender, affiliations, jutsu types, kekkei genkai, main attributes and the arc where the character first appeared. Green tiles match, orange tiles match in part, and red tiles share nothing. After several guesses you can open clues: the nature types the character has mastered, the name of one of their kekkei genkai, their main occupation, or whether they are alive, deceased or unknown.

The other modes each have their own character. Quote shows a line from the manga or the anime and, after a few tries, tells you who it was said to and in which arc. Jutsu plays a short animation from the anime of a technique being used. Eye shows a close-up of a character's eye that zooms out a little with each try. Infinite gives unlimited Classic rounds.

There is a daily streak, statistics, and a Europe or America time zone that sets when the new characters arrive. Narutodle suits readers and viewers who know the cast well beyond the main team, since the answers can come from any part of the story.

How to play Narutodle

1. Open Narutodle and choose the Europe or America time zone in the settings.
2. In Classic mode, type any character's name and submit it.
3. Read the tiles: green is an exact match, orange is partial, red is no match.
4. Keep guessing, opening the nature type, kekkei genkai, occupation or status clues if needed, until you find the character.
5. Play Quote, Jutsu and Eye, each with its own character for the day.

Tips

• Affiliation narrows the field quickly, so open with a character tied to a large village or group.
• Debut arc helps split characters from the original series and Shippuden.
• In Quote mode, the clues for who the line is said to and in which arc unlock after a few tries, so use early guesses on likely speakers from different arcs.
• In Eye mode, the colour and pattern of the eye can point to a clan's kekkei genkai before the face is visible.
