What is Sharkdle?
Sharkdle is a web-based shark species guessing game. Players select a mode, submit species names, and earn XP, pearls, crates, and streaks. The site tracks stats, maintains leaderboards, and includes a species archive called the Sharchive. Modes range from a single-attempt daily puzzle to endless runs and head-to-head duels.
How to play Sharkdle
- Open the site and select a mode from the home screen.
- Read the clues or board information for that round.
- Type your shark species guess into the input field and submit.
- Review the feedback showing your attempt, any rewards earned, and updated stats.
- Continue through additional rounds or return for the next daily puzzle.
Game modes
Daily Mode gives one shark and one attempt each day. Miss the answer and you wait until the next daily reset.
Infinite Mode offers continuous play with no daily limit. Every correct guess earns XP, crates, and extends your streak.
Practice Mode lets you test guesses without affecting your recorded stats or streaks. Use it to learn clue patterns and species names.
Shark RNG introduces randomized shark encounters and an upgrade system. Roll for rare finds and improve your collection.
Rescue Command combines shark saving with base-building progression. Expand your base as you rescue more species.
Friend Duel / Shark Showdown
Two players face the same shark. Whoever solves it in fewer guesses wins. Each player can make up to 12 guesses; if they use the same number, the duel ends in a draw.
Sharchive
Sharchive is the in-game archive. It lets you browse shark species, classifications, images, and detailed information.
Rewards and progression
Wins award XP, pearls, crates, and chances on the daily spin. Crates contain cosmetic items or can be converted into XP. You can spend pearls in the Pearl Shop on items such as Streak Shields, which protect an active streak after a loss. Leaderboards rank players by performance, and events add limited-time challenges.
Tips for better guesses
Log in before playing. If you stay logged out, the site will not save your stats, streaks, crates, or XP.
Practice Mode lets you learn clue patterns and species names without putting your win rate or streak at risk.
In duels, both speed and accuracy matter. Since you have only 12 guesses, random guesses cost more than they do in Infinite Mode.
When you get stuck, check the Sharchive. Reviewing species classifications and images between rounds can help you recognize them in later puzzles.
Save Streak Shields for valuable streaks. Losing a long streak in Daily or Infinite Mode can set your progress back significantly.
