How do the clue tiles and arrows work in PokéGuesser?

After each guess, color-coded tiles give feedback: Green indicates an exact match. Yellow indicates a partial type match or close Pokédex proximity (within 20 numbers). Grey indicates no match. Up (▲) and down (▼) arrows indicate whether the mystery Pokémon's Pokédex number is higher or lower than your guess.

🎮 WHAT IS POKÉGUESSER? THE DAILY POKÉMON WORDLE

PokéGuesser is a free, interactive daily Pokémon guessing game designed for trainers and puzzle enthusiasts worldwide. Inspired by word-guessing phenomena like Wordle and Squirdle, PokéGuesser tests your Pokédex knowledge by selecting a new mystery Pokémon every single day at midnight.

Trainers have 10 attempts to deduce the mystery Pokémon using strategic clues including Pokédex Number (higher / lower indicators), Primary & Secondary Elemental Typings, and Native Region / Generation. From Kanto's Bulbasaur to Paldea's Pecharunt, all 1,025 Pokémon across Generations 1 through 9 are included!

🔍 HOW THE CLUE FEEDBACK SYSTEM WORKS

Every time you submit a Pokémon guess, the retro battle arena generates 5 distinct feedback tiles:

🟩

GREEN (EXACT MATCH)The Pokémon shares the exact Pokédex number, type, or native region.

🟨

YELLOW (PARTIAL / CLOSE)For Dex ID: within 20 numbers. For Types: matching type in other slot.

⬛

GREY (NO MATCH)The trait does not match today's secret Pokémon.

▲ / ▼

ARROWS (DEX NUMBER)▲ indicates a higher Pokédex ID; ▼ indicates a lower Pokédex ID.

PROFESSOR OAK'S TACTICAL HINTS

If you reach Guess 5 without catching the Pokémon, Professor Oak radios in with research assistance: choose 1 clue between Native Region, Primary Type, or Special Ability. If you survive to Guess 9, Oak offers a critical second clue to save your daily streak!
