WikiFork

WikiFork lays the day's two endpoints across the top of the screen, such as Babur, founder of the Mughal Empire, on the left and N'Golo Kanté, the French footballer, on the right. Between them sits a chain still to be built. Each turn you are dealt two cards, each a person with a portrait and a one-line description, for example Isaac Newton, English mathematician and physicist, and Muhammad, Arabian political leader and the founder of Islam.

One of the two lies on a shortest path to the target through Wikipedia's links, and the other is a distractor. You lay down the one you think stands fewer links from the target, and the chain grows. You have ten moves, and a perfect run finds the shortest chain there is. Reasoning about who would mention whom on Wikipedia, across eras, countries and fields, is the whole game.

The daily pairs come from a fixed list that started on 24 September 2026 and does not repeat for about two years, and the next one is dealt at midnight UTC. When a run ends you can copy your result to share it, press a knot on the thread to read why each link holds, and carry on in Unlimited mode. There is no account and no ads; your record is kept in your own browser, and a sources page explains where the people, portraits and link data come from. It suits players who enjoy Wikipedia rabbit holes and the six degrees idea.
