What is Birdle?
Birdle is a daily bird ID game with six guesses. You work from photos (including sex, age, or seasonal plumage), a range map, and optional regional pools such as World, North America, or Europe. A miss is not empty: Birdle compares your species to the target on order, family, and genus.
Green taxonomy tiles mean you are on the right branch of the tree even if the common name is wrong. Hints unlock after three guesses. The lock is the correct common name, not a close cousin.
Birdle Game Rules
Identify the bird of the day in six tries. Study stills and the range map before you submit. After a wrong common name, tiles show whether you matched order, family, or genus. Region selection changes the species pool. Hints appear after three misses. Only the exact target name wins.
- Six guesses; photos plus a range map are the field notes.
- Wrong names still score order, family, and genus overlap.
- Pick a regional Birdle if you want a smaller list than World.
- Hints after three tries; the common name must match exactly.
How to play Birdle?
Press Play on this listing to open official Birdle. Choose World or a region, read shape and range before color, then use green family tiles to stay among relatives instead of jumping taxa.
- Select a Birdle region and inspect photos plus the map.
- Submit a common name you can defend from bill, shape, and range.
- Read order/family/genus greens and search that branch next.
- Take the hint after three misses if the photos still lie; finish before six.
Birdle Strategy & Tips
Structure first: bill, wing, tail, posture. Plumage color shifts with age and season. A green family and a red genus means hunt siblings, not a new order. The range map vetoes lookalikes that do not live there. Do not waste late Birdle guesses on a bird whose map is wrong even if the photo feels close.
- ID from structure and range, not a single color patch.
- Treat green taxonomy as a tree, not as a participation trophy.
- Eliminate species whose maps contradict the clue.
