What Marginle is
Marginle is a daily election guessing game built around three statewide U.S. races. For each race, you begin with a county map and a set of clues, and your job is to determine the exact year in which that election took place. With a limited number of guesses per race, the challenge is to reason from the evidence rather than rely on luck. You can submit a year, then use your remaining attempts to keep working toward the answer. Finish all three races to complete the day's puzzle.
How to play
Begin by studying the county map for the first race. Then read the clues and consider what they suggest about the period. Use the evidence to identify a plausible election year and submit it as your guess. You get up to five guesses per race, so use the clues to narrow your options before each submission. After solving that race, repeat the process for the other two. Complete all three races to finish the daily puzzle.
Tips
- Begin with the county map before reading the clues; it gives you the geographic framework you need to evaluate possible election years.
- Use the clues to rule out unlikely years before committing to a guess, because each race only allows five attempts.
- Keep careful track of which years you have already tried so your remaining guesses stay focused on new possibilities supported by the map and clues.
