Games like Smashdle

Updated

Smashdle is a daily guessing game built on the Super Smash Bros. cast of fighters, split into five modes. Classic hands out clues on every try once you enter any character. Final Smash plays a Smash animation, Kirby asks who Kirby swallowed, Emoji works from a short emoji string, and Silhouette gives you only a shadow. Under the game sits yesterday's answer, such as Ganondorf in puzzle #1155, and a note that Nintendo does not endorse the project. It rewards anyone who can recognize a fighter from the smallest detail.

Sister games from the same team come first, since they share Smashdle's layout, then Nintendo character hunts for Kirby, Mario, Pokémon, Splatoon, Xenoblade and Animal Crossing. After those are fighting and hero games that also lean on silhouettes, emoji and other picture rounds, finishing with a cast drawn from several franchises.
