How to play

One portrait. One person from history. Who might it be?

Study the portrait, then type a name. Choose a suggestion and press Guess.
You have six guesses. Each of your first five incorrect guesses unlocks a new clue about the person. There is no timer.
Use the portrait and clues to solve it before you run out of guesses. After your sixth incorrect guess, the answer is revealed. You can also choose Reveal answer to finish early.
Come back for a new portrait each day, or explore earlier days in the archive.
