About Skilldle

Skilldle is one of the daily Old School RuneScape games on Skel's Games, the small site built by Skeldoor that also hosts Questdle, Examindle, Shrimpillion and two Who's That games. Its page calls it the Daily Old School RuneScape Skill Challenge. One level is picked for the day, the same for everyone, and shown at the top beside a countdown to the next one and a count of how many people have played and how many got a perfect score.

Below sits a grid of the 24 skills, Sailing included. You click a skill, and a box asks what unlocks at that level in it: you search for an unlock, such as an item, a spell or a training method, and submit it. A right answer turns the tile green with a tick. Skills with nothing unlocked at the day's level pass on their own, so on some days a good part of the grid is done before you start. If you are stuck you can skip a skill, and it then shows the answers you could have given.

The score is the number of skills you got right out of 24. When every tile is done a results panel lists each skill with your number of attempts, and a share button copies the score, the date and a grid of skill icons with ticks and crosses. Your own stats, with games played, best and average score and a streak, are kept in the browser.

It suits players who have levelled many skills and remember what each milestone opens up, and it rewards knowing the less used skills as well as combat. It is free, runs in the browser and needs no account.

How to play Skilldle

1. Open skelsgames.com/skilldle and read the day's level at the top.
2. Click a skill tile in the grid.
3. Search for something that unlocks at that level in that skill, pick it and submit.
4. A correct answer turns the tile green; try again, or skip the skill to see what would have counted.
5. Work through all 24 skills; those with no unlock at the day's level pass by themselves.
6. When the grid is done, read your score out of 24 and copy the share grid.

Tips

• Start with the skills you train most, then come back to the ones you rarely touch.
• Think of every kind of unlock: items you can make or wear, spells and prayers, training spots, monsters and shortcuts.
• Skipping only costs that one skill, and it shows the accepted answers, which is handy for next time.
