About Icondle

One gaming icon. Eight guesses. A new puzzle every day.

Icondle is a free daily character puzzle built as part of the PUZZL GAMES network.

Deduce the character

Each guess is compared with the mystery answer across franchise, debut decade, the platform family where the series began, primary genre, creator region, character type, story role, and whether the character was playable in their debut game. Green clues match, red clues do not, and a yellow debut decade is one decade away.

A curated 500-character catalog

The playable catalog is limited to 500 recognizable characters created for video games. Characters whose original source is a movie, television series, comic, novel, or another medium are excluded even when they later appeared in games.

Daily play and PUZZL accounts

Everyone receives the same puzzle for each Central-time calendar date. You can play without an account and keep progress in this browser, or use the shared PUZZL account to sync results across supported devices and PUZZL games. The playable archive contains only the five most recent dates while older results remain part of lifetime statistics.

Unofficial fan project

Icondle is an independent, unofficial fan-made trivia game. Character names, game titles, franchises, and related trademarks belong to their respective owners. PUZZL GAMES is not sponsored by or affiliated with those publishers, developers, or rights holders.
