About Flickle & How to Play
Flickle is a daily browser game built on the “six degrees of separation” idea —
applied to movie actors. Every day there’s a mystery actor, and your job is to reach them by
guessing other actors and following the connections between their films.
How to play
- Guess an actor. Start typing and pick from the suggestions.
- Read the result. Each guess shows how many steps that actor is from the
mystery actor, plus one movie your guess appeared in that leads a step closer.
- Use the co-star hint. Tap the clue movie to see its cast that are in the game, and
pick one to guess next — no need to leave the site.
- Solve it in six guesses. Fewer steps means you’re getting warmer.
Modes
- Daily — one shared puzzle per day, the same for everyone, with stats and streaks.
- Free Play — unlimited replayable puzzles whenever you want.
- Eras — puzzles scoped to a chosen decade of film, 1950s through 2020s.
- Difficulty (Free Play & Eras) — Easy, Medium, Hard, or Expert, which controls
how many co-stars the hint reveals.
