InWordle, players are tasked with guessing five-letter words, with incorrect letters grey, correct letters in the right place marked green, and correct letters in the wrong place marked yellow. Each guess getsWordleplayers closer to figuring out the correct word. GuessThe.Game is different in that it shows players a screenshot of the video game in question. They can then try their hand at guessing the game, and if they’re wrong, they will get a new screenshot and a detail about the game.Please note the rest of this article will have SPOILERS for the May 26 GuessThe.Game puzzle, so proceed with caution.
For example, the GuessThe.Game puzzle for May 26 shows a screenshot of thecritically-acclaimed first-person puzzle gameThe Witness. If players make an incorrect guess, they are treated to a new screenshot and a detail about the game’s Metacritic rating. If they guess wrong again, they are then shown yet another screenshot with another detail about the game, this time its original platforms. Another incorrect guess scores another image and the game’s genre, and so on and so forth until players either guess correctly or run out of chances.
There’s decent variety when it comes to the games featured in GuessThe.Game. A couple of days ago, the answer to the puzzle was the Nintendo 64 sports gameMario Golf, though first screenshot was of a non-Mario character that’s featured in the game to give it some extra challenge. On May 25, the answer wasCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which is fitting since Activision has started ramping up marketing for thenew version ofModern Warfare 2, set to launch later this year.
