About Slopdle

Slopdle is a free browser game built around one odd picture a day. Each picture comes from an image generator, and the game keeps the prompt that made it but hides most of its words. Small words such as "A" or "at" are often shown, the rest are grey bars of the right length, and your job is to fill them in from what you can see.

A day's puzzle goes word by word. You type one guess at a time. A right guess is placed in every spot where that word appears, a word close in meaning is flagged as close, and a miss or a tap on Skip reveals the next clue across the hidden words: first whether a word is a noun or an adjective, then its first letter, and at last the word itself. The fewer guesses you need, the better your result.

The scenes are deliberately absurd (on the day we looked, a pageant queen in a tiara stacking wooden blocks in front of a shark tank), so the fun is in naming exactly what the picture shows and guessing which words the prompt used for it. Each puzzle is numbered and dated, and a new one arrives at midnight UTC.

When you finish, you can share a result or create a room: friends who open your link play the same day's picture and appear on a small group leaderboard. No account is needed; you can pick a short name or keep a random three-letter code. It suits players who like Redactle or Pedantle's word-by-word uncovering but would rather look at a picture than read an article.

How to play Slopdle

1. Open slopdle.fun and look at the day's picture and the sentence under it, where hidden words show as grey bars of their length.
2. Type one word you think is in the prompt and press the arrow to guess it.
3. A right word fills every place it appears in the sentence; a related word is marked as close so you know you are near.
4. A miss, or a tap on Skip, reveals the next clue: whether a hidden word is a noun or an adjective, then its first letter, then the word itself.
5. Keep guessing until the whole prompt is shown, then share your result or open a room to compare scores with friends.

Tips

• Start with the plain nouns you can see in the picture: the person, the main object and the setting.
• Count the letters of each grey bar before you guess: a six-letter gap rules out most synonyms.
• A guess marked close means a related word fits; try the more ordinary synonym a prompt writer would use.
• Skip only when you are stuck, since a clue can also be earned from an honest miss.
