The Letterboxd guessing game is Letterboxdle
Letterboxdle is a daily movie-guessing game on letterboxdle.net. If you searched for a Letterboxd guessing game, a Letterboxd review game, or “guess the Letterboxd review,” this is the daily version of that idea. It is not a mode inside Letterboxd.
What a round actually is
You get six tries. Five of them are Letterboxd reviews with the title stripped out. They are ordered from harder to easier. The sixth try adds a blurred poster and the watch count. There is a search box and a Skip button. No account is required.
The creator's 9 Mar 2026 post on r/Letterboxd says the clues start from popular reviews, the title is removed, and a person picks five. I am not upgrading that post into a promise that every future puzzle is picked the same way. The how-to-play page is the rule the site itself prints.
A full example: puzzle 36
Puzzle 36 is Slumdog Millionaire (2008, Danny Boyle, Drama and Romance). One short review used on the how-to-play page is dǝnis: “luckiest unlucky guy that has ever been.” The same page calls this example puzzle 86. Puzzle 86 is The Big Lebowski. I keep the example on 36. More of the rule is on How to play.
Who did this first
guessthemovie.me showed up on r/Letterboxd on 18 Feb 2025: five chances, review screenshots, a hand-picked set that started at 19 films. The Letterboxdle launch post is 9 Mar 2026, about thirteen months later. Both are “read a Letterboxd review, name the film.” The current guessthemovie.me about page also describes a daily film and an archive; Letterboxdle keeps its numbered classic boards at /archive/.

Questions
Is the Letterboxd guessing game made by Letterboxd?
No. Letterboxdle is a separate site at letterboxdle.net. Letterboxd's own YouTube channel has posted a different 'Guess Your Movie' bit with actors. That video is not this daily puzzle.
Is Letterboxdle free to play?
Yes. There is no price on the public game, and the research pass on 11 Nov 2026 found no app on the Apple, Google Play, or Steam searches.
How is this different from guessing a screenshot?
Framed shows frames. Letterboxdle shows reviews. If you want the frame game, use the Framed comparison.
