This is awesome: like Wordle, but for biologists. Figure out a mystery animal through 20 guesses that reveal the smallest taxonomic group which includes them both. (Got the current one in 5.) https://metazooa.com

This is so cool!

@Adzebill they need a bigger database! I wanted to guess tuatara or rotifer or lamprey or tunicate and none of those are there? Am I holding it wrong?
Show threadMike DickisonAug 26, 2023
@Heliopathic There should be one representative from each of the major groups, shouldn’t there? We should complain, especially about tuatara.

@Adzebill @Heliopathic vertebrates are definitely over represented! Played about 10 practises and not one beetle!
