Breakdown
What is Breakdown?
Breakdown is a daily browser puzzle about estimating proportions. You're given a question and a set of categories, and your task is to show what percentage of the whole each category takes up by dragging dividers. The site also includes an archive, stats, and a tool for making your own custom breakdown puzzles.
How to play Breakdown
Start by dragging the dividers on the chart to set each category's share according to your guess. When you're ready, press Reveal to see the actual breakdown and how close you were. You can also hit Reset to try again; after revealing, the game rates your attempt with verdicts like Foggy, Solid, or Sharp.
Tips & strategy
- Estimate the largest slice first to create a stable reference point.
- Work in round numbers initially, then refine smaller categories.
- Use context clues: think about real-world distributions that match the question.
- Remember that all categories must fit within the same whole, so watch your total as you drag.
- Revisit older puzzles in the archive to get a sense of how tricky the answer splits tend to be.
