About Wimple

Wimple is an independently created daily picture-and-deduction game. It is built and maintained by the Miniondle project for players who enjoy recognizing a character but still want a logical route to the answer when the picture alone is not enough.

Who made it, and why?

An independent fan-game developer launched Wimple on June 17, 2026 and continues to maintain its roster, clue records, artwork rotation, archive, and game code. The aim is a short daily ritual that rewards both memory and deduction: a familiar face may produce a quick solve, while a less familiar character should still be reachable through careful clue comparisons.

Wimple does not reproduce book pages, stories, or plot summaries. Its original contribution is the playable system around the character material: the progressive image reveal, six-column comparison grid, daily schedule, hint timing, saved progress, spoiler-free result format, and replayable archive.

How the puzzle creates information

The picture changes

The mystery starts with 14 percent of the image visible. Each incorrect guess advances the reveal through 26, 40, 56, 76, and finally 100 percent.

The grid explains a miss

Every guess is compared across Role, Hair, Age, Outfit, Circle, and Name. Matching cells turn green; non-matches turn red. Circle is intentionally broader: one shared school, family, band, or friend group is enough to match.

Those two systems are meant to work together. A picture may suggest a hairstyle or outfit before it reveals a face, while the grid can eliminate an entire age group or role. After two misses, a name-length hint prevents an obscure answer from becoming a dead end. The Wimple strategy guide explains the exact behavior of every clue.

What belongs specifically to Wimple.lol

Wimple.lol is this project’s six-guess daily portrait puzzle: a staged image reveal paired with the Role, Hair, Age, Outfit, Circle, and Name comparison grid. Its 60-record rotation, date ledger, picture-specific clue overrides, candidate-ranking method, replay archive, and reviewed source ledger are maintained here as one connected system.

Other unaffiliated fan projects may use a similar name or the same underlying franchise. They are not part of Wimple.lol, and their rules, rosters, accounts, leaderboards, or published claims do not describe this site.

How the daily calendar is managed

  1. Launch dates have an explicit answer ledger. Those published character identities are recorded in date order rather than recalculated from the current roster.
  2. The active rotation has 60 distinct identities. Every playable character appears once in the recurring 60-day cycle. The order is deliberately mixed rather than alphabetical, while automated tests enforce both the 45-day minimum cooldown and rolling initial diversity.
  3. An alternate image can change the challenge without changing the answer. When a returning character has a reviewed alternate image, Wimple can schedule that picture under the same character identity. Later cycles rotate between the base picture and available variants.
  4. The day follows the player’s local calendar. The countdown reaches the next puzzle at local midnight. Past dates remain available in the archive.

Why alternate pictures get their own clue review

A character is not always drawn or portrayed with the same hair and clothing. Treating every picture as if it showed the base outfit would make the visual clue disagree with the grid. Before alternate artwork enters the schedule, it is checked against the existing record. When the visible hair or outfit differs, Wimple stores a picture-specific override tied to that exact image.

The scheduled picture’s reviewed traits are then used for the answer and for the winning row. The character remains the same guess—there is no second “movie version” or “online version” answer to memorize—but the clues describe the art actually on screen. This review step is also covered by automated schedule and feedback tests so a correct guess stays fully matched.

Sources, rights, and corrections

Character facts and image references are recorded from the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Wiki/Fandom in Wimple’s project data, including a character page and the direct source used for each local image. After a puzzle ends, the result screen shows concise project-written clue summaries and links to both the character record and exact displayed image. The Clue Lab publishes the full answer-eligible source ledger. For a correction, send the character name and puzzle date to contact@wimple.lol.
