I used to start each day with Wordle and its many variations. I was a pro at playing four, even eight Wordles, but a few weeks ago, during my usual morning routine—a run, a cup of coffee, and work—I just didn’t feel like doing it anymore. Not even the Gay Wordle. (Happy Pride.)
If you're like me and need a fresh challenge to start your mornings, and you're a bit of a movie lover, Framed might be exactly what you're looking for. It’s a great fit for anyone who enjoys Wordle-inspired games like the Box Office Game or Heardle.
How to play Framed
If you're unfamiliar with how Wordle works but still clicked on this article, I’m honestly curious about your connection with the internet. Either way, here’s the rundown:
Framed begins with a single movie frame. You guess the film from that image. If you're wrong, you get another frame, with each new one offering more clues, until you've used up all six guesses. For example, your first frame could be a dark shot of a landscape, but by the fifth frame, a character might appear to help you solve it. Much like Wordle and its spin-offs, including the Box Office Game, this online game presents a fresh puzzle each day.
What sets Framed apart from its predecessors is its accessibility—no need to be a film expert to enjoy it. Recently, the answers have included Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Dark Knight, and The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Personally, I've always enjoyed games based on identifying frames. Back in middle school, I would challenge people to guess different episodes of Friends just by Rachel's hair and outfit. I may not have had many friends, but I sure felt close to Jennifer Aniston. With that embarrassing confession, here’s the link to play Framed. Good luck.
