Pokédle: the Wordle-style Pokémon Guessing Game
Guess the mystery Pokémon in as few tries as you can. Every guess tells you which of its traits match, so each one narrows it down. Play the daily Pokédle or race up to nine friends on the same Pokémon.

How to play Pokédle
Type the name of any Pokémon and press Enter. Small typos are forgiven and after three letters you get suggestions. Your guess appears as a row of eight tiles that compare it with the mystery Pokémon.
Use what you learn for the next guess. You have 8 guesses by default. Find the Pokémon before you run out to score: the fewer guesses you need, the more points you get.
- Green: this trait matches the mystery Pokémon.
- Yellow (types only): the type is right but in the other slot.
- ▲ / ▼: the mystery Pokémon's generation, evolution stage, height or weight is higher or lower.
- Dark: no match.
Play with friends or alone
Create a lobby and share the invite link or the 6-character code. Everyone plays the same mystery Pokémon at the same time. You see only the colours of the other players' guesses, not the Pokémon they tried, so nobody can copy. When everyone has finished, all guesses are revealed and the master presses Continue for the next round.
On your own, a lobby with one player works just as well.
Daily Pokédle
Pick Daily Pokédle in the lobby for today's Pokémon. It is the same for everyone on the same date, from all nine generations, with 8 guesses and one round. After the reveal, Copy my result gives you a coloured grid without spoilers to share in your group chat.
Settings and scoring
In free play the master chooses 6, 8 or 10 guesses, no clock or 1 to 3 minutes per round, 1 to 10 rounds and any mix of generations. Solving with guesses to spare scores more: a solve with your last guess scores 1 point, each guess left over adds one, and in multiplayer the first player to solve gets one extra point.
The end screen shows the ranking, every mystery Pokémon and awards: Hole in one for solving in one or two guesses, Deduction master for the best average, and Lightning fingers for the fastest solves.
