How to play Facedle

Look at the picture
Only part of the photo is visible at the start.
Name the person
Type the name of the famous person you think it is.
Skip if unsure
A skip, like a wrong guess, reveals more of the picture. Fewer tries make a better score to share.

Clues to look for in a photo

Clothing: A sport kit, a suit or a stage outfit
Background: A stadium, a studio or an event
Photo style: An older or newer picture
Hair: An era, or a famous look

When to guess and when to skip

Early on, a skip and a wrong guess cost the same. So guess only when you have a real idea, even a vague one, because a wrong name you thought about can still teach you something. If you have no idea at all, skip and let the picture do the work.

Facedle tips

Look past the face. Hair, clothes and background can say a lot about who and when.
Do not waste a guess on a hunch at the start. A skip costs the same and shows more.
Think about the setting. A stage, a pitch or a red carpet narrows down the type of star.
