How to play JoJodle

Type a JoJo character name. The grid returns eight columns of feedback: green for an exact match, yellow for close, gray for wrong. You have ten guesses and three optional hints. Solve it in as few tries as possible. A new character drops every UTC midnight, the same character for every player worldwide.

That's the whole game. The rest of this page is what each colour and each column actually means, and how the badge system rewards different play styles.

Every guess returns one row of eight cells, in this fixed order:

• Gender — Male, Female, Other. Exact match only.
• Part — which Part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure the character first appears in (1 through 9). Yellow if you're within ±1 Part of the answer.
• Stand Type — Close-Range, Long-Range, Automatic, Colony, Sense-Type, or None. Yellow if your Stand type and the answer's both fall into the same group (Physical / Remote / Passive).
• Role — Protagonist, Antagonist, or Supporting. Exact match only.
• Hair Color — Yellow if the two colours share a hair-color group (Dark / Light / Warm / Cool).
• Nationality — Yellow if two different nationalities share a continent (Europe, Asia, Americas, Africa, Oceania).
• Debut Year — Yellow if within ±5 publication years.
• Debut Chapter — Yellow if within ±100 chapters.

The three numeric columns (Part, Debut Year, Debut Chapter) also show an up or down arrow when the cell isn't already correct, pointing toward the answer's value. So a "yellow Part with up arrow" tells you the answer is exactly one Part later than your guess.

Three colours, top to bottom:

• Green — exact match for today's answer. The same string, the same number, the same category.
• Yellow — close but not equal. The closeness rule is per-column (see above).
• Gray — neither equal nor close. You've ruled the value out for at least this column.

The grid is read row by row in the order you guessed. If a column is green on row 3, you know the answer's value for that column from row 3 onward — there's no need to test it again.

JoJodle gives you ten guesses per day. The tenth wrong guess ends the round; the answer is revealed and your streak resets. Nine of those guesses get a full eight-column row of feedback; the tenth either wins or loses.

You also have three hints per day. A hint flips one full attribute column to the answer's value at no further cost — useful when you've narrowed the search down to a few candidates and the remaining columns are ambiguous. Hints are independent of guesses: spending a hint doesn't cost you a guess slot, but it does cost you the Clean badge for the day.

JoJodle's clock is UTC. At 00:00 UTC every day, a new character becomes the answer. Each character is selected from a roster of 217 (the same roster covers all nine Parts) by a fixed shuffle, so two players in different time zones playing on the same UTC date see the same character.

Your streak ticks up by one for each consecutive UTC day on which you win. Missing a day resets the streak; the max-streak counter records the longest run you've ever held. If you leave the tab open across midnight, the page rolls over to the new puzzle within a minute.
