Talldle
Guess the celebrity from their height.
Talldle is a daily puzzle about height. Each day gives you a group of famous people, and your job is to sort them from shortest to tallest. You get six attempts, and color hints after each attempt tell you how close your ordering is.
What is Talldle?
The core of Talldle is ordering rather than guessing a single answer. When you load the puzzle, you see the day's set of famous people as tiles, and you drag and drop them into the sequence you think runs from shortest to tallest. There is no typing and no single hidden word to uncover. Instead, the whole arrangement is the answer, and you are judged on how well the full order matches reality. The site puts the rule plainly: sort the famous people by height with six attempts, and drag and place the tiles in the current column to sort the people.
After you lock in an attempt, each tile is graded with a color. Green means that person is in the correct placement. Yellow means the person is in the correct order but not the exact placement. Gray means both the order and the placement are wrong. You read those colors, rethink which people are taller or shorter than you assumed, and rearrange for the next attempt. You have six attempts total, so every attempt is a chance to gather more information.
What makes Talldle different from the many letter-guessing -dle games is that it draws on real-world knowledge instead of vocabulary. You are not spelling anything. You are recalling or estimating how tall various public figures actually are, which turns it into a mix of trivia and estimation. The green, yellow, and gray feedback grades both placement and relative order across the whole set at once, so a single attempt can teach you a lot about several people's relative heights.
Talldle is credited on the site to Andrew Collins and Riley Wong of Santa Clara University, and it is described as inspired by Wordle, created by Josh Wardle. The site carries a 2025 copyright. It is free to play, refreshes with a new puzzle each day, and includes a share feature so you can post your color-coded result to friends the same way Wordle players share their scores.
How to play Talldle
- Open Talldle at talldle.com in your browser.
- Look at the day's set of famous people shown as tiles.
- Drag and place the tiles in the current column to arrange the people from shortest to tallest.
- Submit your arrangement to lock in an attempt and see the color feedback.
- Read the colors: green is a correct placement, yellow is correct order but not the exact placement, gray is wrong order and placement, then rearrange and try again.
- Keep refining across your six attempts until you solve the order or run out, then share your result.
Tips and strategy
- Anchor on the people you are most confident about first, place them, and build the rest of the order around those fixed points.
- Treat green tiles as settled and leave them alone on your next attempt so you can focus your changes where they matter.
- When a tile turns yellow, its order is right but its exact spot is not, so nudge it a short distance rather than across the whole board.
- Use gray tiles as strong signals to make bigger moves, because both their order and placement are off.
- Remember that on-screen or photographed height can mislead you, so lean on known real-world heights of athletes, actors, and public figures rather than gut impressions.
- Change only a few tiles per attempt so you can clearly attribute each color change to the moves you actually made.
