Pokle

Pokle takes the six-try guessing structure of Wordle and applies it to a hand of three-player Texas Hold'em. All three players' hole cards are shown, named Ron, Don and Lon, along with a ranking table of gold, silver and bronze trophies: who was ahead, second and third after the flop, after the turn and after the river. Your job is to name the five board cards: three for the flop, in any order, then the turn and the river.

You build a guess on a small keyboard of ranks and suits, and each guess is marked card by card: green means the card is exactly right, yellow means either the suit or the rank is right, and the keys take the same colours. Many boards might fit the rankings, but only one is the answer, so the colour feedback matters. A few rules keep it fair: there are no kickers on the board, meaning every board card's rank is part of someone's pair, trips or better at some stage, and if you get everything right except the suit of the turn or river, the game corrects the suit for you and you win.

A new puzzle arrives at midnight each day and is the same for all players, numbered from the game's start in July 2022. Pokle Limited publishes it free, with no ads and no sign-up; after the day's game you can compare your result with the day's global stats and share it. It suits poker players who know hand rankings well and puzzle fans who like deduction with a clear structure.
