How to Play Angledle — The Daily Angle Guessing Game

The Rules

Every day at 6:00 AM, Angledle generates a new mystery angle between 1° and 359°. Two rays extend from a center point, forming the angle you need to guess. You have 6 attempts to find the exact degree value.

After each guess, you receive two pieces of feedback: a temperature hint that tells you how close your guess is, and a direction arrow that tells you whether the correct angle is higher or lower than what you entered.

Understanding the Hints

The temperature system works like a "hot or cold" game. The closer you are to the answer, the warmer the hint:

• So close! — Your guess is within 5° of the answer. You are almost there — a tiny adjustment in the direction of the arrow should nail it.
• Hot — You are within 15°. You have the right region; now fine-tune.
• Warm — You are within 30°. The general area is right, but there is still a meaningful gap.
• Cold — More than 30° away. Time for a bigger jump in the direction the arrow points.

The direction arrow is straightforward: ⬆️ means the true angle is higher than your guess, and ⬇️ means it is lower. Combining temperature and direction gives you a precise corridor for your next attempt.

Your First Game: A Worked Example

Suppose the mystery angle is 137°. Here is how an experienced angle guesser might approach it:

1. Guess 90° — You get "Cold ⬆️" (more than 30° away, answer is higher). Now you know the angle is somewhere above 120°.
2. Guess 150° — You get "Warm ⬇️" (within 30°, answer is lower). The angle is between 120° and 150°.
3. Guess 135° — You get "So close! ⬆️" (within 5°, answer is higher). The angle is 136°, 137°, 138°, 139°, or 140°.
4. Guess 137° — Exact match! You found it in 4 tries.

The key is each guess eliminates a large portion of the remaining range. This is why starting with a well-known benchmark like 90° or 180° is so effective.

Visual Estimation Techniques

Before you type a number, study the angle on screen. Training your eye to classify angles quickly is the single most valuable skill in Angledle:

• Acute angles (1°–89°) look noticeably narrow. Think of the hands of a clock at 1 o'clock — that is roughly 30°.
• Right angles (90°) form an L shape. If the two rays look perpendicular, start your guess near 90.
• Obtuse angles (91°–179°) are wider than a right angle but do not yet form a straight line.
• Straight angles (180°) form a flat line through the center.
• Reflex angles (181°–359°) wrap more than halfway around. The opening points inward, and the arc covers the majority of the circle.

Strategy Tips for Better Scores

Six guesses is plenty if you play smart. Here are the strategies that experienced angle guessers use to win consistently:

• Start with a benchmark: Open with 90° or 180° to immediately learn which quadrant the answer is in.
• Bisect the remaining range: After each hint, guess the midpoint of the remaining range. This binary-search approach eliminates the most possibilities per turn.
• Memorize reference angles: Know what 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 150°, and 270° look like. These anchor points help you estimate faster without calculating.
• Use "So close!" aggressively: When you get the "So close!" hint, you know the answer is within 5°. Combined with the direction arrow, that narrows it to at most 5 possible values.
• Stay calm on guess 6: Review every hint you have received before making your final guess. The accumulated clues usually narrow the answer to a 2–3 degree window.

What Makes a Great Angle Guesser

The best players combine visual intuition with logical deduction. They do not just guess randomly — they treat each attempt as a question that divides the remaining range in half. Over time, this approach becomes automatic, and first guesses start landing closer and closer to the actual angle.

Spatial reasoning improves with practice. If you want to train outside the daily puzzle, try Unlimited mode for endless angle puzzles you can play back to back.
