NewReciple is a free daily food game from Ladle Games. Each day everyone gets the same recipe card listing a dish's ingredients and quantities, and you have five guesses to name the dish. Every guess lights up the ingredients it shares, and each miss opens another clue.
About Reciple
Reciple is a browser game about food from Ladle Games, the small studio that also makes Departle. Each day it deals one recipe card, numbered from #1 on 5 November 2026, with the name of the dish hidden behind three question marks. The card lists every ingredient with its amount, sorted into groups such as pasta, grains and bread, meat and fish, dairy and eggs, vegetables and pantry. Salt, pepper, water and a little oil are left out, since nearly every dish would share them.
You type a dish, another name for it or a country, and pick from the list that appears. The ingredients your guess shares with today's dish turn green, and ones of the same kind turn yellow: another pasta shape, another hard cheese, another cured pork. A counter on the card shows how many of the day's ingredients you have found. Under each guess sit labels for its type, its course, its country and its cooking time. Green means it matches today's dish, yellow means close, and an arrow says whether today's dish takes longer or less time.
Each miss opens one more clue in a panel beside the guesses. After the first comes the method and time (on 12 November it read "Wok · 20 min"), then the country, then a step from the recipe, and last the first letter of the name. When the round ends you can download the full recipe.
The recipes are written by the makers from each dish's classic ingredients, and the quantities can be shown in metric or US units. Your stats and streak stay in your browser, and the calendar button opens every earlier dish, though archive games do not count toward your stats. It suits anyone who cooks or likes reading menus, and a round takes a few minutes.
How to play Reciple
- Read the day's recipe card. Every ingredient is listed with its amount, grouped by kind.
- Type a dish, another name for it or a country into the box at the bottom, pick a match from the list and press "Guess".
- Look at the card. Ingredients your dish shares turn green and similar ones turn yellow.
- Read the labels under your guess for type, course, country and cooking time. An arrow on the time says whether today's dish is quicker or slower.
- Use the clues that open after each miss, from method and time to the first letter, and name the dish within five guesses.

Tips
- Start with a dish whose type you suspect. The type and course labels rule out whole families quickly.
- Unusual ingredients carry the most weight. A jar of kecap manis or gochujang points to one cuisine far more than garlic does.
- Typing a country can help when you know the region but not the dish.
