YOUR PRIVACY

Cookies, without the mystery.

Statdle stores a small amount of information in your browser to run the daily puzzle. This page explains what we store, why, and how you can control it.

Essential cookies

These support daily play, sign-in, security, and your cookie preferences. They remain enabled when you choose Reject optional. They are used on this site and are not advertising trackers.

Optional: save unfinished drawings

If you accept optional storage, we use your browser's local storage to keep your unsubmitted curve. This lets you refresh the page and continue drawing. It is off until you accept it, and it is not needed to submit guesses or earn points.

Draft entries have names beginning with statdle-draft-. They expire at the next daily puzzle reset and are removed when the puzzle finishes or when you turn the option off. Expired entries are removed when Statdle next runs in your browser. Old drafts from before this consent feature are cleared unless there is a valid preference.

Change or withdraw your choice

Use Cookie settings in the footer on any page. Select Reject optional, or turn off Save unfinished drawings and save your preferences. We stop saving drafts and remove existing draft entries. Your submitted guesses, scores, and account history are kept on the server and are not deleted by changing this setting.

We remember your choice for 180 days in this browser. We will ask again when it expires, if you clear the preference cookie, or if we change the optional storage purposes. Closing the preferences window, scrolling, and continuing to play do not count as acceptance.

Browser controls

You can also remove or block cookies using your browser's settings. Blocking essential cookies can prevent sign-in and daily progress from working. Clearing the browser identifier can make guest history inaccessible; signing in lets you keep account progress across devices.

Statdle currently uses no advertising cookies, analytics trackers, or browser fingerprinting. Supabase provides the server-side database and email verification; our frontend does not load a Supabase tracking script.

Read the cookie policy LET YOUR INTUITION DRAW

Every story has a shape.

Read the scenario and imagine observing it again and again. What would the distribution of outcomes look like?

  1. Draw the distribution. Use your mouse, finger, or pen. Higher means more likely; farther right means a larger outcome. Switch to Shape to pull a section up or down, or expand the graph for more room.
  2. Place zero. The vertical axis is zero, and it starts at the left edge: nothing negative. If some outcomes fall below zero, drag the handle at the top of the axis to where zero belongs. Some puzzles name it, like Freezing or a deadline.
  3. Follow the feedback. You have six guesses. Each one tells you how closely your shape matches.
  4. Get a little help. Reveal up to three clues about concentration, shape, and boundaries. Using all three doesn't end the game.
A win starts at 100 points. Each earlier incorrect guess costs 10; each clue costs 15. Every win earns at least 10 points. Curve height doesn't matter—its relative shape does. To win, both the shape and the position of zero must match.

Keyboard: focus the graph, use left/right to choose a point and up/down to move it. Hold Shift for larger adjustments. Tab to the axis handle and use the arrow keys to move zero. Undo and redo work with Ctrl/Cmd+Z and Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Z. Reset clears your drawing and can be undone; guesses and clues stay used.
