In short: Dartle #1 is Polygons by number of sides. Each answer scores its number of sides. Pick up to 3 different answers whose numbers add up to exactly 100; over 100 scores 0, and you can stand on any total. Stuck? Today's Dartle hints go from a nudge to a full checkout.
How to play Dartle
- Read the category. It tells you what each answer is worth: an element's atomic number, a state's order of admission, a president's number.
- Throw a dart. Type an answer and pick it from the list. Its value is revealed and added to your total.
- Stand or keep going. After any dart you can stand on your total. Up to 3 darts, each a different answer.
- Hit exactly 100. That's a bullseye. Over 100 is a bust and scores 0. Fewer darts wins a tie.
Dartle strategy: think like a darts player
Real darts players plan a checkout before they throw. Do the same: pick a big first dart you are sure of (around 50–60), then look for a pair that finishes the job. Three habits help most:
- Know the anchors. In most categories a handful of answers are easy to place exactly — Lincoln is 16, Hawaii is 50, Gold is 79. Build around those.
- Leave yourself an easy finish. A remainder like 10 or 20 has many answers; a remainder like 3 might have one you can't remember.
- Stand when it's close. 96 is a great score. A bust is 0. If you are not sure of the exact value of your last dart, stand.
The categories
Every category is built from fixed facts, so the values never drift: chemical elements by atomic number; countries by international calling code; us presidents by number; us states by order of admission to the union; books of the bible in order; polygons by number of sides; marvel cinematic universe films in release order (2008–2025); us states by electoral votes (2024 map); movies with a number in the title. Each run of 9 days uses every category once, in a new order each time.
