I recently came across WikiWho?, a simple daily browser game like Waffle or Wordle.1 The gimmick of this game is that it takes the information panels from famous people’s Wikipedia articles and blurs out their image and information. Your job is to guess the person using as few hints (unblurs) as possible. You have three guesses total, so use them wisely.

Example Game

Here is what I was greeted with for November 7’s puzzle:

There’s not a lot to go on here. We know that this person is an American who isn’t living. Okay. I don’t think there’s enough to go on here.

I asked for a hint. It was revealed that this person was an aviator. Who are some famous American aviators? Emelia Earhart!

So far the puzzles have been pretty easy, but I really like the idea of this game.
