How to play Artle
- Inspect the first artwork, then enter the artist’s last name in the artist-name search field.
- If you need another clue, use “Not sure? See another artwork” to skip a guess and reveal another work.
- Compare the works to identify their artist within four guesses. A new Artle is loaded every day.
Comparing several works by one artist
Several works, one artist
The next artwork is another clue about the same artist. Compare it with the earlier image rather than treating it as a new question.
Another artwork uses a guess
When you are unsure, the official walkthrough lets you skip a guess to see another work. You have four guesses in total, so use each new image to compare technique, materials and composition.
Why try Artle?
Choose it for a short encounter with art rather than a spelling or geography puzzle. Even an unfamiliar artist gives you a reason to look closely at technique and recurring subjects.
Chronophoto
TriviaKeep looking closely at images, but estimate when a photograph was taken rather than identify its creator. Chronophoto suits players drawn to historical details over artistic attribution.
Framed
MoviesFramed also reveals successive images pointing to one answer, replacing artworks with movie stills. Try film recognition when scenes and settings feel more familiar than artists’ styles.
Metazooa
TriviaBoth reward knowledge within a specialist subject. Metazooa replaces visual attribution with animal taxonomy, narrowing the hidden species through family-tree relationships rather than comparing works by a creator.
