Guess the number. Score by how close you get.
Pick a number between 1 and 100. First-try exact guesses score 100 — but even a wrong guess earns points if it's close. Climb today's global leaderboard before the number resets.
About GuessTheNumber
GuessTheNumber is a free, no-signup number guessing game built around a simple question: what if a near-miss guess actually counted for something? In most guess-the-number games, guessing wrong gives you nothing — here, a guess of 46 when the answer is 45 is worth far more than a guess of 99, because the scoring engine rewards proximity, not just a binary right-or-wrong.
How to play
- Pick a short username (5–8 letters/numbers) — it's valid for 24 hours and doesn't require an account.
- Enter a number between 1 and 100 and submit your guess.
- You'll see how close you were and how many points that guess earned.
- You get up to 10 attempts per day; your best guess counts toward the leaderboard.
- Guess the exact number on attempt 1 for the maximum score of 100.
Frequently asked questions
What is GuessTheNumber?
GuessTheNumber is a free daily browser game where you guess a hidden number between 1 and 100. Unlike a traditional guessing game, correct answers are not all worth the same — your score depends on how close your guesses were and how many attempts you used.
How is my score calculated?
Each guess is scored by two factors: distance from the correct number, and which attempt number it was. Guessing the exact number on your first try scores 100. A wrong guess still earns partial credit if it was close — for example, guessing 46 when the answer is 45 scores higher than guessing 99, even though both are wrong.
How many guesses do I get?
You have up to 10 attempts per day. Your best-scoring guess from that session is the one recorded on the leaderboard.
Does the number change every day?
Yes. A new secret number is generated once per day (UTC) and every player that day is guessing the same number, so the daily leaderboard is a fair, direct comparison between players.
Do I need to create an account?
No account or email is required. You only need a short username (5–8 characters, letters and numbers only) to appear on the leaderboard. That username is valid for 24 hours.
