Smashdle

Smashdle is a browser game in which you guess fighters from the Super Smash Bros. series every day. It comes from the team behind LoLdle, Pokédle, Dotadle, OnePiecedle and Narutodle, and uses the same layout and modes system. It is a fan project, and the site states that Nintendo does not endorse or sponsor it.

Classic mode is where most players start. You type any fighter's name and the game compares it with the hidden one across gender, species, universe (the series the character comes from), weight, the first Smash game where they were playable, the platform they first appeared on, and the year they first appeared in their own series. Green means a match, orange a partial match such as one of two species, and red no match, with arrows on weight and year. After six guesses you can open the name of the fighter's Final Smash as a clue, and after nine a silhouette.

Each other mode has its own fighter. Kirby shows Kirby wearing the hat he gets after swallowing a fighter, and you name whose power he copied. Final Smash shows a fighter's Final Smash animation. Silhouette shows a close crop of a shadow that widens as you guess. Emoji gives a row of emojis that grows by one with every guess.

There is a daily streak, a statistics page, a Europe or America time zone setting that decides when the new fighters arrive, and a choice of more than twenty interface languages. The page shows yesterday's answer under each mode. Smashdle suits players who know the roster and the history behind it, from first appearances to which console a character came from.
