Naruto Games

The quickest way to choose is to ask yourself how you like to play. The flowchart starts from that one question, and each answer points to one of these Naruto games. Nothing is locked, so a wrong first pick costs you nothing; you can switch modes at any point.

• 一

  Deduce from clues. Start with Classic. Every guess, right or wrong, fills in nine columns of feedback, and you close in on the answer by elimination. No mode on the site teaches you the roster faster.

• 二

  Spot it at a glance. Go to Silhouette. You see a shape and name it, and with 10 attempts a round rarely takes long. Good if you remember how characters look better than their ranks and clans.

• 三

  Read and think. Try Riddle or Quote. Riddle hides the answer in one sentence full of references; Quote gives you something the character really said. Both reward fans who followed the story closely.

• 四

  Follow the relationships. Open Bond Trail. You start with one relationship clue, such as a rival or a mentor, and each miss adds another. If you remember who trained whom, you can often solve it while most of the trail is still sealed.

• 五

  Narrow it down by asking. Try Naruto 20 Questions. You never type a guess; you choose yes/no questions and watch the board of 24 grey out until one face is left. Of all the Naruto games here, it is the best fit for careful players who like to work to a plan.

• 六

  Play with letters. Go to Naruto Wordle. You get six tries to spell the character's name, with ✓, ≈ and ✗ letters showing the way. If you like word games, it is the most familiar of these Naruto games.

• 七

  Show off deep roster knowledge. Open Naruto Grid. A cell that crosses a village with a trait makes you recall someone specific, and naming a minor character earns a deep cut.

• 八

  Find hidden patterns. Play Shinobi Squads. Sixteen names, four hidden connections, and decoys that fit more than one group. It suits people who like sorting things into sets.

• 九

  Just practise, no pressure. Use Unlimited. Random characters, no daily cap and no streak at stake.

New to Naruto games of this kind? Play Classic first, then a few rounds of Unlimited. The how to play guide covers every Classic column, the colour code and the hint schedule in detail.

Four of these Naruto games hand you a clue and ask you to name the character of the day. The clue is what changes, and it changes a lot from one mode to the next.

Classic is where narutodle.app started, which makes it the oldest of the Naruto games here. Type any character and the grid compares nine attributes against the answer: gender, clan, village, ninja rank, jutsu types, chakra natures, kekkei genkai, traits and debut arc. Each cell turns green, yellow or red and carries a symbol (✓, ≈ or ✗), with ↑ and ↓ arrows on rank and debut arc, so colour-blind players get the same information. Guesses are unlimited. Hints unlock at 5, 8 and 12 wrong guesses (kekkei genkai or not, primary chakra nature, village), and a Reveal answer button appears after 20.

Silhouette shows a portrait blacked out into a solid shape. Each wrong guess brightens it a little, so hair, clothing and outline slowly come through until the figure is easy to name. You get 10 attempts, and most rounds end quickly. It tests something none of the other Naruto games do: whether you know the cast by sight. If you remember designs better than ranks and clans, this will probably be your easiest solve of the day, and it makes a quick first stop before the longer puzzles.

Riddle gives you one sentence, written in the first person as if the character were speaking. It never names the village and clan outright; it points at the answer through looks, habits, jutsu, relationships or a turning point in the story. Guesses are unlimited. Three optional hints sit under the scroll, and each one you open costs a star: 3★ with no hints, 2★ with one, 1★ with two or three. Once all three are open you can reveal the answer. The rotation holds 180 hand-written riddles.

Quote shows a line a character actually said, word for word, along with the episode or chapter it comes from. Tabs switch the same line between Japanese, English and Chinese, which helps if you watched with the original audio or read a translated manga. Your job is to name the speaker. Scoring works like Riddle: unlimited guesses, three optional hints, one star lost for each hint you open. The bank has 150 quotes, each with a source, so you can look up the scene for yourself once you've solved it.

Three more Naruto games end with one character, but each takes a different road to it: the people around the character in Bond Trail, yes/no questions in Naruto 20 Questions, and the letters of the name in Naruto Wordle. Every move tells you something, so the real skill is choosing the next one.

Bond Trail hides a character behind a trail of six relationship clues. Each clue pairs a type with a person, such as Rival: Sasuke Uchiha or Mentor: Jiraiya, and each type has its own kanji seal: Rival 敵, Teammate 班, Mentor 師, Family 家 and Bond 絆. The first clue is visible from the start; each wrong guess or skip reveals one more, and you get 6 tries in total. Clues go from broad to specific, with family always last, and Mentor: X always means X taught the answer. Stars count the clues showing when you solve it: two or fewer earn 3★, three or four 2★, five or six 1★. A Reveal answer button, tapped twice, ends the round as a loss. Of all the Naruto games here, this is the one for fans who remember who trained, fought and grew up with whom. The 113 puzzles are built from the 722 relationships in the site's 115 character dossiers.

Naruto 20 Questions deals a board of 24 portraits with one character hidden among them. You ask yes/no questions from a menu of 52. Forty-nine come from the site's character data (village, clan, rank, traits, kekkei genkai, chakra nature, jutsu), and three cover the story: debuted in Part I, dead by the end of Shippūden, and has a known clan name. The menu only offers questions that still split the characters left, and every portrait an answer rules out greys over with a ✗ seal. Accuse a portrait whenever you like, but a wrong accusation counts as a question, and the limit is 20. Five questions or fewer earns 3★, six to eight 2★, nine or more 1★. It is the most methodical of these Naruto games: across the 98 boards, a player who always halves the board needs 4 questions on 24 of them and 5 on the other 74.

Naruto Wordle asks for the character's name in 6 tries, and the board shows how many letters it has. Every guess must be a real roster name of that length, taken from a dictionary of 202 names; an entry that isn't one doesn't use a try. Each letter comes back with a colour and a symbol: ✓ green for the right place, ≈ gold for a letter in the name but in the wrong place, ✗ grey for a letter not in the name. Repeated letters are scored as in standard Wordle, and the on-screen keyboard shows each letter's best result so far. A name is the first word of the English name, in capitals and without macrons, so Chōji becomes CHOJI; a few use the name people actually say, so Rock Lee is LEE. The 92 answers run from four to eight letters. One or two tries earns 3★, three or four 2★, five or six 1★. Of the ten Naruto games, it is the only one where the letters of a name matter. Wordle here describes the format; the game has no connection to The New York Times.

All three run on the same 00:00 UTC schedule as the other daily Naruto games, each with its own answer, and each keeps an archive of past days, covered below.

Naruto Grid and Shinobi Squads are the two Naruto games here that trade a single answer for a full board. You work with many characters at once, and knowing the minor cast finally pays off.

Naruto Grid is a 3×3 board. Each row and each column carries a condition: a village, a clan, a ninja rank, a trait, a kekkei genkai or a chakra nature. Every cell asks for a character who fits both its row and its column, so a Kirigakure row crossed with a Seven Swordsmen column wants one of the Mist's swordsmen. You have 9 guesses for the whole board, and each character can be used only once. Your score is the number of cells filled, from 0 to 9, plus your deep cuts: correct answers from outside the 115 characters that have full dossiers on the site. Of all the Naruto games here, it is the one where a minor character is worth more than a famous one.

Shinobi Squads is one of two Naruto games here where you never type a name; the other is Naruto 20 Questions. It deals 16 character tiles, and hidden among them are four squads of four, and each squad shares one connection. Pick four tiles and submit; if three of them belong together, the game tells you you're one away. You can make 4 mistakes before the board is revealed. Each squad has a difficulty rank shown as a colour plus a kanji, so colour is never the only signal: Genin 下, Chūnin 中, Jōnin 上 and Kage 影. Watch for decoys. The puzzles are built so that some characters fit more than one group, and the obvious grouping is often a trap.

Both boards follow the same daily schedule as the other Naruto games, and both have their own archive, covered below.

Unlimited uses the same nine-column attribute grid as Classic, but it draws a random character every round and has no daily limit. Solve a round, or skip to a new puzzle, and the next one starts straight away. The cells, symbols and ↑ ↓ arrows work exactly as they do in Classic, and a counter at the top tracks rounds, wins and your current run for the session. Reloading the page starts a fresh run. Unlimited never touches your daily streaks, so a bad run costs nothing. That makes it the right place to learn how the columns behave, test a first-guess strategy, or keep playing after you've cleared today's Naruto games. Of the ten Naruto games, it is the only one built for long sessions, and a good way to meet characters the daily modes haven't shown you yet.

All nine daily Naruto games switch to a new puzzle at the same moment: 00:00 UTC, which is 21:00 the evening before in Brasília. A countdown on each game shows the time left in your own time zone. Each mode picks its answer from its own sequence, so one of these Naruto games never gives away another: solving Classic tells you nothing about Silhouette, Riddle, Quote, Bond Trail, 20 Questions or Wordle, and the Grid and Squads boards are separate puzzles again.

Streaks are counted per mode rather than across the Naruto games as a whole. Your Classic streak, your Riddle streak and the rest each grow on their own, and missing one mode for a day leaves the others untouched. Progress, streaks and stats live in your browser's localStorage, so they stay on the device and browser you play on. Clearing site data starts everything from zero.

Missed a day? Eight of the nine daily Naruto games keep an archive; Silhouette is the exception. The Classic archive lets you replay the last 30 days. The Riddle archive and Quote archive show past puzzles with their answers, and the Naruto Grid archive lists every valid answer for each cell of past boards. The Shinobi Squads archive shows each day's four groups and their members. The Bond Trail archive shows all six clues and the answer for each of the last 30 days, the Naruto 20 Questions archive shows the answer, a short halving question path and the full board, and the Naruto Wordle archive lists the last 30 days' answers. Today's puzzle never appears in an archive. If you'd rather skip ahead, today's Classic and Silhouette answers are posted on the answers today page; it is full of spoilers, so open it only if you mean to.

Every one of these Naruto games checks guesses against a single character dataset, so a clan or a rank means the same thing in Classic, Naruto Grid, Shinobi Squads and Naruto 20 Questions. Here is what that dataset holds:

• ・

  210 characters, of which 203 are in the Classic daily pool. Browse them all in the character roster.

• ・

  11 debut arcs, from the Land of Waves to the Fourth Shinobi World War, used for the debut arc column.

• ・

  180 riddles, each written by hand for Riddle mode.

• ・

  150 quotes, each in Japanese, English and Chinese with its episode or chapter source.

• ・

  115 in-depth character dossiers, which also decide what counts as a deep cut in Naruto Grid and hold the 722 relationships behind every Bond Trail clue.

• ・

  113 Bond Trail puzzles, 98 Naruto 20 Questions boards and 92 Naruto Wordle answers (with a 202-name guess dictionary), all drawn from the same characters as the other Naruto games.
