How to play
Find today's hidden first name in 8 guesses.
Guesses line up in A–Z order around the box you type in, which always sits where the answer belongs. The arrow points toward it.
Each guess shows how far away it is, as a share of the name list. The closer you get, the smaller the number and the bluer it turns.
Answers have 25,000+ recorded U.S. births since 1910. Rarer names don't cost a guess.
