Pokedle (pokedle.com)

Pokedle is a daily Pokémon guessing game made by a developer named Gabriel, with art and translation help credited on the site. Its Classic mode works like other -dle games: you type any Pokémon, and the game compares its primary and secondary type, evolution stage, whether it is fully evolved, colour, habitat, shape and generation with the secret one. After a set number of guesses a hint shows the first letter of the answer.

Four more daily modes use different clues. Silhouette shows the Pokémon's shadow, Flavor Text gives a Pokédex entry, Image Zoom starts on a close-up that pulls back after each guess, and Card shows a blurred trading card that sharpens as you play. Shiny versions turn up now and then, and the site tracks a single streak for days on which you win any daily mode.

Beyond the daily puzzles there is an Infinite mode with no daily limit, real-time Versus matches against a friend or a random opponent, leagues with seasons and leaderboards, and a card collection. Settings let you limit generations, include alternate forms and turn on a colourblind palette. It is free with ads in the browser.
