How to Play Tickerdoodle
Guess the daily stock ticker in 6 attempts. The answer is always a well-known company — S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 heavy hitters plus a few famous names beyond them.
Ticker Letter Feedback
After each guess, letters are colored to show how close you are:
Ticker length is not pre-shown (answers are 1–5 letters). If your guess length differs from the target, all letters show gray, plus an arrow: ↑ means target is longer, ↓ means shorter. Repeated-letter scoring follows Wordle's double-letter rule.
Category Hint Columns
After each guess, six category columns appear to the right of the letter tiles:
Industry
🟩 Same GICS sub-industry · 🟨 Same GICS sector · ⬜ Different sector
Market Cap
🟩 Same bucket (Mega/Large/Mid/Small) · ↑ target bigger · ↓ target smaller
Founded Year
🟩 Within 10 years · ↑ target founded later · ↓ target founded earlier
HQ Country
🟩 Same country · 🟨 Same continent · ⬜ Different continent
Index Membership
Three sub-cells: S&P 500 · Dow 30 · Nasdaq-100. 🟩 if guess and target both in or both out, ⬜ if mismatch.
Years Public
🟩 Within 5 years · ↑ target has been public longer · ↓ target public shorter
