Pixeldle

Pixeldle hides one video game a day, numbered and the same for every player; puzzle 80 came out on 19 October 2026, so the first appeared at the start of August 2026. Each guess you make adds a row to the board with five columns: the year it came out, its genres, its platforms, its player modes such as single player, multiplayer or co-operative, and its developer.

Each cell is green for an exact match, striped yellow for some overlap, or dark for nothing in common. In a yellow cell the values the hidden game shares are boxed, so you can see which genre or platform matched. On the year, yellow means you are within three years, and an arrow points to an earlier or later release. A guess like Minecraft, out on PC, consoles and phones, can fix the year and the platforms in one go and rule out whole parts of gaming history.

With ten guesses there is room to cast a wide net before closing in. The search box suggests names from a list of about 1,400 games. When the day is done, a result card names the game, shows your played count, win rate and streak, and gives a share button, with a countdown to the next round.

The look is retro, with a glitchy pixel logo on a dark screen, and the board folds into stacked cards on a phone. It is free in the browser with no account and no ads, and suits players who know their release years and studios as well as their favourite games.
