Squirdle

Squirdle is a Pokémon guessing game made by Fireblend, who started it in January 2022 and keeps the code open on GitHub. The site still adds new Pokémon as games come out; a recent note on the daily page announced the Pokémon from Legends Z-A.

The daily mode picks one secret Pokémon for each date from a fixed list, so everyone playing on the same day gets the same answer. You type a Pokémon's name and the game marks five things: generation, first type, second type, height and weight. A green tick means a match, a red mark means wrong, a yellow mark means the type is in the answer but in the other slot, and up or down arrows tell you whether the answer's generation, height or weight is higher or lower. The daily covers all nine generations and gives nine guesses, and the puzzle changes at midnight on your own clock.

What makes it work is that each clue cuts the field from a different side: generation and types narrow the family, while height and weight separate Pokémon that look alike on paper. There is also a free play mode where you can limit the generations and play as often as you like, and a Stats Edition. It suits Pokémon fans who know their Pokédex and anyone who likes attribute guessing games.
