Minecraftle — daily crafting-recipe puzzle

How to play

  1. 1
    Pick an ingredient

    Click one in the tray — eight ingredients plus Empty. Leaving a slot blank is often correct: real recipes have gaps.

  2. 2
    Fill the grid

    Place ingredients on the 3×3 crafting grid the way a real recipe might sit — shape and position both matter.

  3. 3
    Check and read the marks

    Every slot gets marked: Correct (right ingredient, right slot), Move (in the recipe, wrong slot), or Not needed (not in the recipe).

  4. 4
    Solve in 10 guesses

    Adjust and check again. A repeated arrangement doesn't count, so every guess earns information.

Modes

ModeHow it works

UnlimitedPractice rounds whenever you want — no effect on your daily streak
Hard modeEvery Correct slot locks in place — including a Correct empty slot — so each guess must keep what you've confirmed
Keyboard play: keys 1–8 pick ingredients, 0 picks Empty, arrows move between slots, Enter checks, Backspace clears. Hit ? in game for the rules card.

Tips that actually help

Think like a recipe

Tool shapes, food shapes, armor shapes — if you've crafted it in Minecraft, you already know where ingredients tend to sit.

Use the first guess to map

Spread distinct ingredients across the grid. You're buying information about what's in the recipe, not solving it yet.

Move means swap, not drop

A Move ingredient is confirmed to belong — shuffle it into an untested slot before doubting it.

Empty is an ingredient

Recipes with gaps are common — a slot that stays unfilled on purpose is a legitimate guess, not a wasted one.

FAQ

Is Minecraftle free?

Yes — free in the browser with no account. Your board and streak save in your browser.

When does the daily reset?

At 00:00 UTC — everyone worldwide gets the same recipe each day.

Is it like Wordle?

Same loop, different canvas — instead of letters you place crafting ingredients, and the feedback marks slot positions on a 3×3 grid instead of letter positions in a word.

Does losing the daily break my streak?

Failing or skipping a day after starting a streak resets it — an unfinished day keeps yesterday's streak intact.
