Star Wars Guessr

About Star Wars Guessr

Star Wars Guessr is a fan-made game in English and French that asks you to recognise characters from across the Star Wars saga. Its pool takes in the films, the live-action and animated series and the video games, and its author keeps adding new faces, most recently from Maul - Shadow Lord and The Mandalorian & Grogu.

There are three modes, each with a daily character and a freeplay version. In Hints you get a limited number of attempts, and each wrong guess reveals a clue, ordered from hardest to easiest. In Picture the character's image starts pixelated and sharpens over twenty seconds; you stop the timer when you think you know and have three tries. In Guess you name any character and the game compares them with the answer on gender, species, skin and eye colour, height, weight, homeworld, affiliations and more, with no limit on attempts.

Options let you switch between metric and imperial units, turn on a colourblind mode, show stats and add a give-up button. In freeplay you can choose which films, series and games to draw from; the daily puzzles always use the full list. The clues can spoil recent shows and games, which the site warns about.

How to play Star Wars Guessr

1. Pick Daily and choose a mode: Hints, Picture or Guess.
2. In Hints, type a character; each miss reveals a new clue, from hardest to easiest.
3. In Picture, start the timer and press Guess when the pixelated image is clear enough, then name the character within three tries.
4. In Guess, enter any character and read how their traits compare with the answer, then refine until you find it.
5. Use Freeplay for more rounds, filtered to the films, series and games you know.

Tips

• In Guess, species and affiliation narrow the field fastest; height and weight help separate humans.
• In Picture, stopping the timer early scores better, but you only have three attempts.
• If you have not caught up on recent series, play the Picture mode first: the clue modes can contain spoilers.
