Stockle
A daily stock-market guessing game where you identify a mystery company using financial clues like sector, industry, market cap, price, P/E ratio, and dividend.
Stockle is a daily puzzle where the mystery answer is not a word but a publicly traded company. Instead of colored letter tiles, the game deals in financial attributes such as sector, industry, market cap, price, P/E ratio, and dividend, and you use those to work out which stock the puzzle has in mind. It's built for people who like Wordle-style daily puzzles but want the guessing to run through market data instead of spelling.
What is Stockle?
Stockle presents a single Daily Stock Challenge each time you load the page. The interface centers on a table with columns for Stock, Sector, Industry, Mkt Cap, Price, P/E, and Div, and your job is to identify the real company behind the day's puzzle. A Hint button, which starts at "Hint (3)", gives you up to three extra clues if the attributes on screen aren't enough to narrow things down, and a "Give Up" button reveals the answer directly if you'd rather see the solution than keep working at it. A score counter starting at 0 sits at the top of the page.
What sets Stockle apart from most word-based -dle games is that the whole guessing process runs through financial fundamentals rather than spelling. A player who knows that a company is large-cap, pays a dividend, and belongs to a specific sector can often narrow the field to a handful of household names before spending a single hint. The page also includes chart-style time period toggles (1W, 1M, 1Y, 5Y) and a "Show market cap" toggle, which point to a price-chart component in the game, though the static page doesn't show exactly how the chart figures into a round.
The site's footer links to GitHub and to the personal portfolio site of Oliver Grabner, which is the only creator attribution found on the live page. Beyond that, the page does not show a share button, a streak counter, or a results-summary screen in what could be verified, so if a post-solve feedback screen exists, it wasn't visible in this review. The exact way you enter a guess also isn't visible in the page's static content, so this review can't say whether it uses a search box, autocomplete, or something else.
It's worth knowing that "Stockle" is a name used by more than one project. There is an unrelated investment-tracking product at a similarly named domain that is not a game at all, a separate ticker-guessing Wordle clone by a different developer, and another hint-based stock guesser referenced across wordle-aggregator sites whose original home page returns a 404 and could not be confirmed live during this review. The version described here, at stockle.fun, is the one confirmed live with real game content.
How to play Stockle
- Open Stockle at stockle.fun.
- Read the Daily Stock Challenge table, which covers Sector, Industry, Mkt Cap, Price, P/E, and Div for the mystery stock.
- Think through which real, publicly traded company matches that combination of attributes.
- Use a hint if you're stuck; the Hint button starts at three and counts down as you spend them.
- Enter your guess for the mystery stock once you've narrowed the field.
- Click "Give Up" if you'd rather reveal the answer than keep guessing.
Tips and strategy
- Start with Sector and Industry since they cut the field of possible companies down the fastest.
- Use Mkt Cap to decide whether you're looking at a large, well-known company or a smaller, less obvious one.
- Compare the P/E ratio to get a sense of whether the mystery stock behaves like a growth stock or a value stock.
- A nonzero Div (dividend) often points toward an established, mature company rather than a young growth stock.
- Save your three hints for when two or three candidate companies all seem to fit the visible clues.
- Treat Price as a secondary clue rather than a primary one, since share price alone doesn't reliably indicate company size.

Stockle FAQ
Is Stockle free to play?
Yes. The live site has no paywall, login requirement, or pricing shown.
How do you play Stockle?
You work out which real company the day's puzzle describes, using financial attributes shown in a table: sector, industry, market cap, price, P/E ratio, and dividend. A Hint button offers up to three extra clues if you get stuck, and a Give Up button reveals the answer.
When does Stockle reset?
No reset time or timezone is published on the site itself, so it's not confirmed exactly when a new Daily Stock Challenge appears.
Is Stockle like Wordle?
It follows the same daily-puzzle-with-one-answer format as Wordle, but instead of guessing letters in a word, you're narrowing down a real stock using financial attributes as clues.
