    How to play

    Classic

    Type any GTA character. Each column tells you how close you are:

    • Green ✓ means an exact match.
    • Yellow ≈ means a partial match. Location: same state (e.g. Los Santos vs San Fierro). Affiliation: they share at least one.
    • Red ✗ means wrong.
    • For Year, the arrow points toward the target's debut year.

    All clues describe the character's debut game, meaning the first released game they appeared in.

    Hints

    After a few wrong guesses a Need a hint? button shows up. Use it or ignore it. If you use hints, your shared result says how many.

    Pick your games

    Use the game buttons (GTA III, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, GTA IV, GTA V, GTA VI) to choose which games the puzzles cover. Each combination has its own daily puzzle.

    Emoji

    Guess the character from emojis. Each wrong guess reveals one more clue.

    Trivia

    Five questions about GTA VI and the older games, 15 seconds each.

    New puzzles go up every night at midnight, your local time.

    What is Wastedle?

    Wastedle is a free daily puzzle for Grand Theft Auto fans, in the style of Wordle. The name comes from the screen every player knows too well. Every day there is one character to find in Classic, a different one in Emoji, and five trivia questions. The cast runs from Claude in GTA III to Jason and Lucia in GTA VI, 63 characters so far.

    You can limit the puzzles to the games you actually played. Every combination of games gets its own daily puzzle, so a GTA IV-only player won't get the same answer as someone who grew up on San Andreas.
