How to play

Guess the Make, Model, and Year of the daily car. You have 5 tries.

The photo starts heavily cropped. Each wrong guess reveals more of the car.

Pick the make first — the model list narrows to that make. Every picker has a type-to-filter box.

Easy mode keeps the dropdowns honest: pick a make and the model and year narrow to real combinations — choose a model to limit the years, or a year to limit the models. And once a guess earns the “right region” hint, the make list narrows to that region. Hard mode lets you guess any year for any model. You can switch modes until you submit your first guess.

Feedback

  • Correct (year counts within ±2)
  • Make is from the right region, or year is within ±5 (arrow shows direction)
  • Wrong

Regions

American, European, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Other.

A new car every day, and two streaks to keep: 🔥 days played in a row (miss one and it’s frozen, not lost — play that day’s puzzle the next day to repair it) and 🏆 wins in a row. Everything is saved in this browser.
