About PoopGuessr
PoopGuessr is a daily wildlife puzzle built on an old tracking skill: telling animals apart by their droppings. Each day you get a single photo of real scat from the wild, and everyone sees the same one.
You type an animal as your guess, and a row of clue cells compares it with the mystery animal on class, diet, habitat, region and typical adult size. Green is a match, yellow a partial overlap and red no match, and arrows show whether the answer is heavier or lighter. You can zoom into the photo to check size, shape and contents, and you have six guesses.
The photos are open-license images, mostly from Wikimedia Commons, with credits shown after each round so the caption never gives the answer away. A field guide covers how to identify every animal in the game, and an archive keeps every past day playable. The idea comes from a poop-guessing segment on the Swedish children's TV show Myror i brallan, and the game has a Swedish version, Gissa bajset, at gissabajset.se, reached from the flag button.
PoopGuessr is made by Zimo and started on 1 June 2026. Its changelog shows steady work since: player-submitted photos, a first-letter hint on your last guess, statistics, and a rewritten field guide in October 2026. There are no ads and no sign-up; your results stay on your device.
It suits nature fans, hikers and anyone who likes Wordle-style comparison clues with a slightly odd subject.

Tips
- Size is the quickest filter: big pellets and small pellets point to very different animals.
- Look for fur, seeds or fish bones in the droppings, which hint at diet.
- Read the field guide after a round to get better at the signs.
