How Filmdle works

One film a day, the same one for everybody. You start with two seconds of its trailer and 6 guesses to get it.

The reveal ladder

A wrong guess, or asking for more footage, moves you one rung down. The trailer opens up like this:

  1. 2s
  2. 4s
  3. 8s
  4. 15s
  5. 30s
  6. Full trailer

Your result

There is no point total to decode. Your result is simply how much trailer it took you to guess the film, so a win reads “guessed it in 4 seconds”. The daily board ranks by the least footage used, and the clock only breaks ties between players who needed the same amount.

Time is measured on the server, so the timer on your screen is only a mirror of it. Post your result under any name you like to appear on the board. Archive rounds stay unranked, so old films cannot be farmed.

Coffee money

Filmdle is free, has no ads, and costs a little to run. If it brightened your morning, a coffee is very welcome.
