What is Factle?
Factle is a daily browser puzzle that asks you to rank five items in the correct order. Each guess produces tile-color feedback showing how close your ranking was to the real answer. You have five attempts to find the correct order, and the underlying data source becomes visible once you finish.
How to play Factle
- Submit a ranked list of five answers for your first guess.
- Check the tile colors after submission. Each color indicates whether an item is correctly positioned or present but misplaced.
- Use the feedback to adjust the order in your next guess.
- Repeat until you solve the ranking or exhaust all five attempts.
- Review the data source after completing the puzzle.
Understanding the feedback
Tile colors reveal two pieces of information: whether an item belongs in the top five and whether it occupies the right position. One color means the item is correct and in the right slot. Another color means the item belongs in the ranking but sits in the wrong position. If you match the correct order within five guesses, you win.
Strategy tips
Use each guess to narrow the possible arrangements. If feedback shows an item is correct but misplaced, experiment with nearby positions in your next attempt. When multiple items remain uncertain, prioritize testing the ones that appear in feedback most often.
Submit a complete ranked list every time. The game evaluates the entire order, so leaving a slot empty or guessing fewer than five items will not produce useful feedback.
Keep track of which items have confirmed positions. Once one is in the right place, leave it there and adjust only the uncertain slots. With five attempts, changing several positions at once can use up guesses quickly.
