DAILY GUESSING GAMES

Games like Krillion

  1. 1.

    Costcodle

    DailyPrice guessingPlay here

    Guess the price of a Costco item. Each wrong guess tells you higher or lower, and six tries is all you get. The same numeric-feedback loop as Krillion, minus the trivia.

  2. 2.

    Foodguessr

    DailyImage quizPlay here

    A photograph of a dish, and your job is to pin down the country or region it comes from. Five dishes a day, and the closer your guess lands, the more points you keep.

    TimeGuessr

    DailyHistoryPlay here

    One photograph, two questions: when was it taken and where. Drop it on a world map and a timeline, and let the score tell you how far off you were on both axes.

    Chronophoto

    DailyOrderingPlay here

    Five photos, one timeline. Drag them into the order they were shot and score points for every year you get right. A ranking game for people who like putting the world in order.

    Globle

    DailyGeographyPlay here

    A mystery country and unlimited guesses. Each guess colors hotter or colder depending on how close you are, so the map slowly warms toward the answer.

  6. 6.

    Worldle

    DailyGeographyPlay here

    A country shown only as its outline. Name it in six tries, then get distance, direction, and border hints after every miss.

  7. 7.

    Connections

    DailyWord groupsPlay on official site

    Sixteen words, four hidden groups. Find the connections without burning your four mistakes. Like Krillion, the obvious grouping is often the trap.

  8. 8.

    Wordle

    DailyWordsPlay on official site

    The five-letter original. Six guesses, color feedback, and one shared word a day. Still the cleanest version of the daily-guess loop Krillion builds on.

  9. 9.

    Framed

    DailyMoviesPlay here

    Identify the film from a single frame. Every wrong guess reveals one more, and the fewer frames you need, the better the score. Krillion Movies fans tend to settle here.

    Play Framed → · framed.wtf

  10. 10.

    Bandle

    DailyMusicPlay here

    Hear a song with most of the band muted. Name the track as instruments fill back in, one guess at a time, until only the vocals remain.

    Play Bandle → · bandle.wtf

  11. 11.

    Waffle

    DailyWordsPlay on official site

    A grid of letters already in the wrong places. Swap them into six hidden words within fifteen moves. A puzzle of rearrangement rather than recall.

More like Krillion, on PlayTeal

The closest match is still Krillion itself — and its themed packs change the pool without changing the scoring curve. Each pack is the same dive with a single theme.

  • Krillion Unlimited — The Krillion game with no daily cap — endless runs for people who want more than one dive a day.
  • Krillion Movies — Seven film prompts where the obvious title barely scores.
  • Krillion Sports — Athletes, events, and rarer picks from the world of sport.
  • Krillion Geography — Countries, cities, and map features, with the classroom answer scoring shallowest.
  • Krillion Lexicon — Name the word that belongs — the precise one sinks, the common one floats.
  • Size It Up — A daily scale-guessing puzzle: resize a silhouette until it matches the real thing.

What makes a game feel like Krillion

Krillion is a daily trivia dive: seven shared prompts, 25 seconds each, and a scoring curve that rewards the answer fewer players typed. The famous response keeps you near the surface; the specific, defensible one sinks you toward the trench. A good alternative keeps at least two of those pieces — one fresh puzzle a day, answers you type or rank yourself, and scoring that separates obvious from rare.

The list above leans on the first two. Pure rare-answer scoring is rare outside Krillion, which is why the closest matches are other daily guessing games with a shared board: everyone gets the same prompt, everyone gets one shot, and the comparison is fair.

How to pick your daily rotation

If you like the knowledge side of Krillion, start with Foodguessr and TimeGuessr. If you like the pressure of a shrinking guess budget, Connections and Framed play closest. And if you just want the loop of guess, get feedback, refine, Costcodle and Globle are the purest fixes.

Every game on this page runs in a browser, needs no account, and takes under ten minutes. Play the Krillion daily dive first, then work down the list while your coffee is still warm.
