How to play
- Guess the Wikipedia article from its categories.
- Every day there are 10 notable, diverse, and interesting people, places, and things to guess.
- Guess the article title. Titles normally include any first names. Don’t worry about capitalisation, accent marks, or anything in brackets like (TV series) or (singer).
- If you knew the right answer but got the title wrong, tap .
Articles and categories
- The game has over 3,500 articles, chosen from player suggestions, the Vital Articles project, and popular pages. 10 are picked at random each day.
- Each article is in 4 to 50 categories, and is the only article in those categories. To avoid giveaways, categories which share any non-trivial words with the title are removed.
Alternative names
- Many alternatives to the exact title are accepted. Specifically, any aliases on Wikidata and any word or phrase which Wikipedia redirects to the article.
- Also, if your guess is within a few letters of the correct title or an alternative, the game asks Did You Mean the correct title. You can turn this off in settings.
Examples of correct and incorrect guesses
| Title | Guess | Result | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| One Thousand and One Nights | arabian nights | Correct | It’s an alias |
| arabian nigh | Did You Mean | Typos detected | |
| Louis Armstrong | satchmo | Correct | It’s an alias |
| armstrong | Incorrect | Not an alias or redirect (as it’s a common surname) |
