What devices does it run on?

It works in a web browser on both phones and computers, with touch gestures on mobile (like holding a finger on a stack to fan out pieces) and keyboard shortcuts on desktop.

How do I share or keep my collage?

Use Done to see the finished page, then Download or Share, add your Instagram handle for credit, and drag the pin onto it to hang it on the day's public wall. Your own creations are collected under 'Your wall' (Made and Kept tabs).

Can I see other people's collages?

Yes — the wall shows everyone's pinned collages for the day, and tapping one plays an animation of it coming together. You can keep ones you like to your wall.

Can I play past days?

Yes, the menu includes 'Past kits' with an option to open a previous day's kit ('Another day. Past kits / Open this kit').

Collagedle — A free daily collage game

Collagedle is a browser-based daily creative game in the Wordle tradition of shared daily challenges, but instead of guessing a word you make a collage. Every player opens the same 'envelope' each day: a fixed kit of photographs, words and cuttings laid out in piles on a desk. There is no score and no timer — you cut, arrange and print-effect your way to a finished page, then can pin it to a shared daily wall next to everyone else's versions of the same kit. It runs on phones and computers, with touch gestures (hold a finger on a stack to fan it out, fling a piece off-screen to discard it) as well as desktop shortcuts (arrows, brackets, Cmd/Ctrl-D to copy, Cmd/Ctrl-Z to undo). Made by one person and supported by a 'Buy me a coffee' link.
