02
Quote
Two Overwatch characters talk before a match. Identify both speakers.
You see two lines of dialogue from the moments before a match, and you have eight guesses to name both speakers. Naming one correctly locks that speaker in so you can focus your remaining guesses on the other.
03
Ability
A hidden ability icon, uncovered tile by tile as you miss.
The icon hides behind a grid of nine tiles. One is uncovered at the start, and every wrong guess uncovers another. You have eight attempts to guess the character who owns it.
04
Spotlight
A cropped sliver of character or skin art. It zooms out as you guess.
A small crop of a character splash or skin that zooms out a step with each wrong guess. You have five attempts across a pool that covers base portraits and over a thousand character skins.
05
Sound
An ability sound clip that grows longer with each miss.
You hear a fragment of one of the character’s ability sounds, often under a second, that grows longer with each wrong guess. You have eight attempts.
Frequently asked questions
What is OWdle?
OWdle is a free daily Overwatch guessing game, basically Wordle but for Overwatch characters. There's a new character to figure out every day, and everyone gets the same one that day so you can compare with friends.
How do you play OWdle?
You just type in an Overwatch character and OWdle tells you how close you are. Every mode gives you a different kind of clue (attribute tiles, an ability icon, an ability sound, a bit of splash art) and you keep guessing till you land on the right character.
What game modes does OWdle have?
There's five modes every day. Classic gives you eight attribute tiles to narrow things down, Ability shows an ability icon that slowly reveals itself, Quote drops you into a convo between two characters and you name both, Sound plays a short ability sound, and Spotlight shows a cropped bit of splash art that zooms out every time you miss.
When does a new OWdle puzzle come out?
A new puzzle goes up every day at 2:15am Pacific. Each mode has its own character for the day and it stays the same for everybody until the next reset.
Is there an OWdle unlimited mode?
Not unlimited, but close. The Archive lets you replay the past week of daily puzzles whenever you want, so you can catch up on a day you missed or retry one you lost. Archive rounds never touch your streak.
