Today's Spotle Movies board at desktop size after a guess of Inception: Science Fiction matched in green, year, box office and score tiles with arrows, studio logo, director and cast portraits

Spotle Movies is a daily movie guessing game. You type any film from a list of over 3,000, and eight clue tiles flip to show how it compares with the answer: genres, year, box office, critic score, rating, studio, director and lead actor. Green is exact, gold is close, and arrows point higher or lower; you have ten tries.

About Spotle Movies

Spotle Movies takes the attribute-matching style of the music game Spotle and applies it to films. Each day has one dated film, the same for everyone.

You search from over 3,000 titles and pick one. Spotle Movies comes from Flatwhite Studios, the makers of the music game Spotle. Eight clue tiles flip in turn. The genres light up one by one when they match. Year, worldwide gross and score show an arrow when the answer is higher or lower. Rating, studio, director and lead actor are a match or not, and four supporting actors show too: gold on an actor means they are in the answer in another kind of role. Two hints unlock, after the fifth and the eighth guess. Green means exact, gold means close and grey means no match.

With ten guesses, you can afford a few probes: a big studio blockbuster from the middle of the range tells you a lot about where the answer sits. The director and lead actor tiles are the ones that close it out.

It suits players of Spotle and the character -dles who like narrowing down a field with each guess, and film fans who know box office and studios as well as stars.

The film changes at midnight Eastern Time, and the Rewatch page in the menu plays any of the past 50 days.

Tips

  • Open with a mid-2000s studio hit; its year, gross and score sit near the middle and the arrows tell you the most.
  • Pin the studio early: it cuts the list of possible films sharply.
  • Use genre matches to choose between films with similar numbers.
  • Save the director and lead actor guesses for when you are down to a few films.
