Is there a new block every day?

Yes. A new block goes live at 00:00 UTC, and it is the same block for every player, so results are directly comparable.

Yes. You can play as a guest with no account, download, or paywall. Connecting Discord is optional and only used to keep XP and streak across devices.

How many guesses do I get?

As many as you need — there is no limit. You cannot repeat a block you already guessed, so no guess is wasted by accident.

Can I play on my phone?

Yes. The board is built for a phone screen first; the property table scrolls sideways while the page itself does not.

Where do the numbers come from?

From Minecraft's own data files, pinned to a single game version, so hardness and blast resistance are the real values rather than someone's recollection.

Is MCdle an official Minecraft game?

No. MCdle is an unofficial fan project, not approved by or associated with Mojang or Microsoft. It is also not affiliated with The New York Times.

MCdle — Guess the daily Minecraft block from six properties

MCdle is a free daily Minecraft guessing game available in your browser. Every day at 00:00 UTC, one Minecraft block is selected — the same block for every player worldwide — and you keep guessing until you identify it. Each guess is scored across six properties (version, tool, hardness, blast resistance, see-through, and craftable), with green for exact matches, amber for close matches, and red for misses. There is no limit on guesses, and a new puzzle goes live every day.

The game solves the problem of wanting a quick, knowledge-based Minecraft challenge without any setup. All data comes directly from Minecraft's game files, so hardness and blast resistance values are authentic rather than approximations. You can play instantly as a guest, with no account, download, or paywall, and the board is designed to work smoothly on a phone screen. Optional Discord linking keeps your XP and streak synced across devices.

MCdle is built for Minecraft fans who enjoy Wordle-style daily puzzles and want to test their knowledge of block properties in a competitive, community-wide format. It also appeals to players who like tracking streaks and comparing results on weekly leaderboards.
