Answers to the most common questions about Anime Wordle. If your question isn't here, email us at developer.sercaksoy@gmail.com.
Each game mode has a pre-generated schedule that maps every calendar date to a specific anime, character, or poster. The schedule is deterministic, which means every player worldwide sees the same puzzle on the same day. We weight the schedule toward well-known titles so that the puzzles remain solvable without requiring niche knowledge.
00:00 UTC. If you're in the U.S. Eastern time zone, that's 8 p.m. the previous evening. If you're in Japan, it's 9 a.m. the same day.
We store your game state in your browser's LocalStorage — not on our servers. If you clear browser data, switch browsers, or use private/incognito mode, your progress doesn't carry over. We don't currently offer cloud saves because the game doesn't require accounts.
Two common causes. First, autocomplete matches by English title; if you typed the Japanese title and it didn't autocomplete, your input might not have been matched. Second, different seasons are separate entries in our database — "Attack on Titan Season 3" is not the same entry as "Attack on Titan". Always pick from the autocomplete dropdown.
MyAnimeList's public dataset. We sync periodically to keep studio, genre, episode, score, and popularity values current. See our About page for more detail.
We include the top several thousand titles by popularity. If something you expected is missing, it's almost always because its MAL popularity rank is outside our inclusion cutoff. Email a request and we'll consider expanding.
Same rules and UI. Classic has one shared daily answer worldwide; Random Classic picks a random anime each round and lets you play unlimited rounds. Random is for practice. Classic is for the daily streak.
By design. If the image were fully visible from the first guess, there'd be no puzzle. Each wrong guess reveals more of the image. The fewer guesses you need, the better your result.
Not yet. We track your per-day results in local storage but don't expose a long-term streak counter. This is on our roadmap.
No. Anime Wordle has no user accounts, login, email collection, or passwords. Everything runs in your browser.
Anonymous analytics via Google Firebase (page views, device type, country-level location, in-game events like "won" or "lost"). No personal identifiers. See the Privacy Policy for the full list.
Only for analytics and, once approved, advertising. No cookies are strictly required for gameplay.
Yes — the layout is responsive and we test on iOS Safari and Android Chrome. On very small screens (under 360px wide) the Classic mode table scrolls horizontally, which is intentional.
Partially. Once the page has loaded, gameplay works without a connection because all data is client-side. But you can't load the page for the first time without internet, and analytics won't record.
Not currently public, but the game is static HTML/JS. You can view source on any page to see how the game works.

Please do. Send suggestions to the same email. The most common successful suggestions are specific ("add X anime", "highlight Y on mobile") rather than broad ("make it better").
