Typecasted

Typecasted is a daily film game built on the six degrees idea, with two modes that use the same links in different ways. It started with its first Make the Cut pair, La La Land to Catch Me If You Can, on 14 March 2026, and has put out a new pair every day since. Film data and posters come from TMDB.

Endless gives every player the same seed film. You name an actor who was in it, then another film that actor was in, then another actor from that film, and so on, with no repeats. Each guess has a 20 second clock that resets with every correct link, and your score is the length of your chain when time runs out.

Make the Cut gives every player the same start film and end film, often two films with something in common: Troy and Alexander, Bad Boys and Rush Hour, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Knight and Day. There is no clock. You pick an actor from the start film, then a film of theirs, and the board counts down the moves you have left; reach the end film in five moves or fewer and you have made the cut. The end card shows the best possible number of moves, and there is an Undo button for a wrong turn. Afterwards the game shows the shortest path and how other players solved that day's pair.

Names and titles are typed with a search box that suggests actors and films with their photos and posters, so spelling is not the hard part: knowing who was in what is. Both modes have daily leaderboards, and an optional account keeps your streak, history and stats. It suits players who know cast lists well, and anyone who wants a quick timed film game next to a slower puzzle.
