Squirdle is a Wordle clone that only the most diehard Pokemon fans have a chance of solving

SQUIRDLE is Wordle-type puzzle game but only the most hardcore Pokemon fans have a chance of solving it.

Software developer Sergio Morales Esquivel has kicked things up a notch with his own Pokemon-themed version of Wordle but it’s not for casual fans of the franchise.

Squirdle puts your pokemon knowledge to the ultimate test

Squirdle challenges players to guess a secret pokemon in eight turns, but the clues aren’t based on letters.

Instead, the grid is broken down into the generation, types, height, and weight.

Similarly to Wordle, correct answers are green, incorrect guesses are red, and the right pokemon type in the wrong position is yellow.

The generation, height, and weight categories use arrows to indicate whether your next guess needs to be higher of lower.

Unless you have an encyclopaedic knowledge of pokemon, you’re going to need to head to sites like Bulbapedia or Serebii to be in with a chance of narrowing it down.

Squirdle has both an infinite and daily version of the game, so you can still gloat on social media with your emoji grid when you crack it.

There have been a few teething issues, with some pokemon being omitted, as well as “weird entries” but the creator seems to have it under control.


With eight generations of pokemon to pick from, Squirdle is going to have you digging into the dusty recesses of your own mind to solve it.

While Wordle itself isn’t an original idea, its booming popularity has generated an army of clones, including Wheeldle — an ‘infinite’ version of Wordle.

It’s become so popular that scam versions of Wordle are popping up on the App store, so be wary.

There’s even been a bit of controversy with Brits fuming over one particular Wordle answer.

Squirdle is a unique spin on the format but it might be too hard for you if you’re not a pokemon fanatic.
