If you’re a person of culture who happened to be swept up in the Wordle storm over the recent months, there’s a new game to flex your knowledge with on social media.
Inspired by the wildly popular word puzzler, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, has created Artle, an art-guessing game for those who can tell their Monets and Manets apart.
Like Wordle, Artle offers up just one puzzle a day. The goal is to identify the artist of the day—with nothing more than four artworks, unveiled gradually, to guide your decision.

Artist names are more prone to typos, so the way you enter an answer is by typing into a dropdown menu, which will generate the name you were thinking of.
Artle is trickier than Wordle, given that there are 155,000 artworks by 15,000 artists in the gallery’s collection. Though, it’s also more educational than the original, as the hints come with citations for users to discover more about the artist.
