What is Pokle?
Pokle is a daily deduction puzzle built around a Texas Hold'em hand. Each puzzle shows a three-player hand: you see every player's hole cards plus a ranking table that lists each player's hand rank at the flop, the turn, and the river. Your task is to work out the five community (board) cards that produced those rankings. Many different sets of board cards can appear to fit the ranking table, but only one solution is actually correct, so you need to use all the clues carefully. You fill rows with guessed cards and get color feedback after each guess: green means the card is fully correct, while yellow means the suit or the rank is right. You have up to six guesses to land the exact board. The puzzle resets with a new hand at midnight each day, and the game tracks your win rate, streaks, and guess distribution over time.
How Pokle works
- Goal
Identify the exact five community cards of a three-player Texas Hold'em hand using hole cards and hand-rank clues.
- Your moves
- Select cards to fill the five board slots
- Submit a guess row (up to six)
- Adjust autoguessed green cards on later rows
- Toggle colorblind mode in settings
- Read the rules and worked examples
- Reading the feedback
- Green background
- The guessed card is fully correct — rank and suit.
- Yellow background
- The suit or the rank is correct, but not both.
- Ranking table
- Each player's hand rank at flop, turn, and river — your main deduction source.
- When a round ends
A win is recorded when the exact board is found — within six guesses, or sooner if only turn/river suits were wrong and they are autocorrected. Otherwise the puzzle counts as a loss, and a new one arrives at midnight.
Your first round
- Open the day's puzzle and read all three players' hole cards plus the ranking table of hand ranks at flop, turn, and river.
- Deduce which card ranks must be on the board, since every board rank appears in some player's significant hand cards.
- Select cards to fill the five board slots in your first guess row and submit it.
- Check the colors: green cards are locked in and autoguessed next row; yellow cards need rethinking on suit or rank.
- Refine your next row using the new clues, changing autoguessed cards if needed, until the board is solved or six guesses are used.
Easy to miss
- Flop order does not matter, so a yellow card may simply be in the wrong flop position.
- Yellow clues do not apply to correctly guessed (green) cards within the flop.
- If your guess is correct except for turn or river suits, those suits are autocorrected and the guess still counts as a win.
- A card's suit may have to be guessed with no clues, but its rank never does.
Is Pokle for you?
- You know Texas Hold'em hand rankings and want a puzzle that uses them.
- You enjoy logic deduction where clues narrow a unique answer.
- You like a short daily puzzle with streak and guess-distribution stats.
- You do not know poker hand rankings and are not willing to learn them.
- You prefer puzzles where every element always has a direct clue — some suits here must be guessed blind.

A round, step by step
The rules page includes worked examples that clarify the trickiest feedback rules. One example shows a King of Hearts guess that is not marked yellow, because a King of Spades was already guessed correctly elsewhere in that row — green cards take priority, and yellow clues do not apply to correctly guessed cards within the flop. Another example explains yellow cards: a card can be yellow because the suit or the rank matches, and because flop order does not matter, a yellow card may belong to a different flop position than the one you placed it in. The rules page also shows a fresh game and a completed game, so you can see how an unsolved board looks before guessing and how a finished hand appears once all five board cards are resolved.
Pokle FAQ
Is Pokle free to play?
Yes, Pokle is free and plays in the web browser. There is no mention of an account requirement or cost in how the game is presented.
How many guesses do I get in Pokle?
You get a maximum of six guesses to find the five board cards. If the puzzle is not solved within six rows, it is recorded as a loss.
When does a new Pokle puzzle come out?
A new daily puzzle is released at midnight each day. Each day's hand is the same for everyone, and global stats for that day's puzzle are shown.
Can I play past Pokle puzzles?
The facts describe a daily release at midnight but do not mention access to archived or past puzzles, so replaying old hands is not confirmed.
Why is my card yellow instead of green in Pokle?
Yellow means the suit or the rank is correct, but not both together. Also, within the flop, yellow clues do not apply to cards you already guessed correctly, and flop order does not matter.
What does colorblind mode do in Pokle?
Colorblind mode is a setting you can toggle that changes how feedback is displayed, making the color signals readable without relying on standard green and yellow.
