Guess the animal
Guess the animal is the one game in the set that does not run on distance. There are 73 animals in the pool and six guesses to find the day's answer, and every miss is scored on shared traits instead of geography. It rewards thinking in categories: what the animal eats, where it lives, what class it belongs to, and roughly what it weighs.
What a miss tells you
A miss returns which traits your guess shares with the answer, plus whether the answer is heavier or lighter than what you typed. The score out of 100 counts matching traits and factors in the weight gap. A wrong guess that shares a class and a diet is far more useful than one that happens to be a similar size, because traits narrow the pool and weight only orders it.
A worked round
The answer is the snow leopard and you open with the tiger. Class and diet both match, the habitat does not, and the arrow says the answer is lighter. That single guess has removed every bird, fish and herbivore from the running and capped the weight. The habitat clue opens next, mountains, and the field is down to a handful.
The clues
Six clues sit above the board and one opens after every wrong guess, running broad to specific: class, diet, habitat, found in, lifespan, weight.
Common questions
Why are there only 73 animals?
The list is curated by hand rather than pulled wholesale, so every entry has reliable trait and weight data behind it. A larger pool with patchy data would make the feedback less trustworthy.
How is the weight comparison done?
Against a typical adult weight for the species. The arrow tells you the direction, and the score reflects how large the gap is.
What are the six clues?
Class, diet, habitat, where it is found, lifespan, and weight.
