Complexle: A Wordle-Style Game for Guessing Complexity Classes
fortnow · x · 2026-08-09
A student from UMass Amherst, Isik Ulusan, has developed Complexle, a hardcore guessing game inspired by Wordle. Instead of everyday vocabulary, players must guess computational complexity classes from theoretical computer science.
Players have 6 attempts, and after each guess, the game provides hints based on set-theoretic inclusion, the type of model it is defined on, and uniformity. For computer science and algorithm enthusiasts, it serves as both an entertaining puzzle and an educational tool.
