KitSniff
Guess today’s mystery ingredient from its colour, flavour and food group. A free daily food puzzle with recipes to unlock.
What is KitSniff?
KitSniff is a free daily puzzle that puts a mystery ingredient in the kitchen and asks you to identify it. Each guess earns clues based on the ingredient's colour, flavour, and food group, so it's equal parts deduction and food knowledge.
Editor takes
The clue system is demanding but fair — colour, flavour and food group let a careful player reason, though the poisoned-gnome bit is pure theatre.
A quick daily sniff that fits between stops, and the recipe unlocks make it feel like a tiny treat rather than a chore.
I like that every guess returns structured hits and misses on three properties — it's a small dataset, but you can actually play the percentages.
It's a daily mystery with red herrings and a poisoned twist — I'm staying to the credits for the recipe payoff.
How to play KitSniff
Type any ingredient into the guess box and hit Sniff to receive feedback on how close you are. Use the colour, flavour, and food group clues to narrow down the possibilities, and use the hint button to reveal one letter at a time when you're stuck.
Tips & strategy
- Start with a broad, common ingredient to get a baseline for the colour, flavour, and food-group clues.
- Read the clue wording carefully: the game distinguishes a perfect match, a close match (right main group, wrong type), and an eliminated property.
- Use food group to narrow the field before worrying about exact colour or flavour.
- Save the hint button for late in the puzzle, when one revealed letter can confirm a specific ingredient.
- If the poisoned cosmetic effect appears, don't restart—it has no effect on your score.
Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account to play?
No. Account registration is optional; the site mentions account data only if you register, and you can also use Google sign-in.
What are recipes for?
