(I didn’t know whether this should go in The Game Room or Cafe Society, but I chose here since it’s film-related.) Have you heard of [framed.wtf](https://framed.wtf/)? It’s similar to Wordle, but you view stills from movies and guess their titles instead of guessing a word. It’s fun! I find it easier than I would have thought to guess the films based on the stills, even when I haven’t seen the film in question – so if you see / know a lot of films, this may be a piece of cake. I didn’t do that well today, #40: 🟥 🟥 🟥 🟥 🟩 🔲 I did not recognize this movie at all! But it’s easy enough to guess at frames 5 and especially 6. Anyway I thought some of you might enjoy this too 🙂 ---

Framed is worth a thousand Wordles. ---

I’ve been playing it every day for a couple weeks. It’s an interesting challenge, but it’s also getting frustrating because nearly every movie reflects super-basic film-bro-y taste. Two Edgar Wrights? Hardly any movies from before the mid 2000s? No movies with majority-women casts? Come on, what is this, The Ringer? ---

A very good point. Now that you mention it, that bothers me too – I’d love to see more diversity of films! ---

Framed #40 🎥 🟥 🟥 🟥 🟩 ⬛ ⬛ Animal House Blues Brothers Scream Pineapple Express Well I was right on target for the genre, at least for my first two guesses. (I was thrown by the high school, which I’d forgotten in the actual movie. But I do remember it now, and it cracks me up thinking about it: 30-something slacker Seth Rogen breaks up with high school girlfriend Amber Heard because wtf is wrong with her that she would be with such a loser like him? That phone breakup scene is classic.) As a game I don’t like that your guesses have no real bearing on the game. A missed wordle guess gives you more information related to that guess. A missed framed guess doesn’t do anything for you. Only the pictures do. > **[Framed - The daily movie guessing game](https://framed.wtf)** > > Guess the movie from 6 frames. Come back each day to see if you can guess the daily movie, or visit the archive to answer the days that you missed! ---

I’ve also been playing for a few weeks and it’s fun. I also hope they will expand the list of films. ---

I got today’s on the fourth guess. My guesses were: 1) Vertigo 2) Dead Poet’s Society 3) Cape Fear 4) Blackkklansman In my defense, the first three I haven’t seen in over a decade, and the winning film I’ve never seen. I’m slightly impressed with myself. ---

I knew what movie it was on the 4th frame but I couldn’t remember the title. That’s going to give me problems. If I can identify the actor in a frame I might have a better chance. ---

I got it in 4. I usually identify the movie within 3 and then get the title right with 4 but I haven’t seen Blackkklansman though I recognized the actor in 4. Rum Punch was the movie a few days ago and a friend of mine got it in 1. He said that he just watched it again a few weeks ago. I got it after identifying Pam Grier. ---

I know just about every 5 letter word, maybe everyone that would be in the Wordle dictionary. I haven’t seen every movie nor would I recognize many scenes from a single still either. This is way harder than Wordle for me. ---

Framed #42 🎥 🟥 🟥 🟥 🟥 🟩 ⬛ Got it in 5. I recognized Adam Driver in still 4. ---

I’ve been playing this every day. I got the Hereditary one on the very first image: This was the image, which plays a big part in the movie.
