Curdle
What is Curdle?
Curdle is a daily puzzle game that challenges you to identify a cheese from a close-up photograph. Each incorrect guess zooms the image out a little more, giving you a broader view of the cheese. It's a fun test of cheese knowledge and visual recognition.
How to play Curdle
You're shown a heavily zoomed-in photo of a cheese and must guess which cheese it is from a list. With each wrong guess, the image zooms out to reveal more context. You can use filters for milk type (cow, sheep, goat, other) and texture (soft, semi-soft, semi-hard, hard) to narrow down the options before guessing.
Tips & strategy
- Start by using the milk type and texture filters to eliminate large groups of cheeses.
- Pay attention to rind color, surface texture, and any visible mold or markings in the photo.
- If you're stuck, make a guess even if unsure—each wrong guess gives you a wider view.
- Think about common cheeses first, then consider regional or less-known varieties as the image zooms out.
- Use the cheese list to review all possible answers if you're completely stumped.
