Do I need an account to play?

You can roll without signing in, but you need to sign in before rolling to save your roll and participate in progression like the leaderboard.

How many rolls can I make per day?

It is a daily game with one roll per day — the homepage presents 'Today's roll' as a single random article draw.

What are the secret badges?

Badges are hidden achievements awarded based on characteristics of your rolled article. Examples shown include 'Math Class', 'Twelve Words', 'Mouthful', 'Part of a Series', 'Rule Britannia', 'Apostrophe', and 'Results Are In'.

Is the data accurate?

A full dataset rewrite is currently underway; the site notes that rolls may be slightly inaccurate until the rewrite is finished.

WikiRNG — The daily random Wikipedia article rarity game

WikiRNG is a free daily web game built around English Wikipedia's random article feature. Each day, players roll one random article from Wikipedia's 7,251,349 English articles and are scored in SP (Semantic Points) based on how rare the rolled article is. Players can collect secret badges, compete on a leaderboard, and see the day's best roll. It is a browser-based experience with sign-in used to save rolls.

Key Features

Daily random article roll

One random article is drawn per day from a pool of 7,251,349 English Wikipedia articles.

Semantic Points (SP) rarity scoring

Each rolled article receives a score in SP (Semantic Points) reflecting how rare it is — the featured example earned 309,602 SP and a 'Fabled' rating in the Top 3.5%.

Secret badge collection

Rolls can unlock secret badges based on article characteristics, shown in the example as a set of emoji-tagged achievements such as 'Math Class', 'Twelve Words', 'Mouthful', 'Part of a Series', 'Rule Britannia', 'Apostrophe', and 'Results Are In' (with '+ 20 more' in that single roll).

Leaderboard and daily highlights

Players can climb the leaderboard, compare rolls, and see today's best roll and the total number of rolls made that day (65 rolls today at the time of the page).

Roll saving via sign-in

Signing in before rolling saves your roll to your account.

How It Works

Roll once a day

Each day the player presses the roll button to draw one random English Wikipedia article.

Score and classify

The rolled article is evaluated for rarity, returning an SP (Semantic Points) score and a rarity tier (e.g. 'Fabled', Top 3.5%).

Earn badges and compete

Rolls may unlock secret badges tied to article traits, and signed-in players' results feed the leaderboard and 'today's best roll' highlight.
