Two plates of food, one question: which of them did more people vote for? Scrandle is not asking what you would rather eat, and that distinction is the entire game. The matchups come from real polls, so the answer is a fact about other people's taste rather than your own, and the players who do well are the ones who can set their own appetite aside and read the crowd instead.

How to play Scrandle
- Look at both photographs and pick the one you think the wider vote favoured. There is no timer, so a slow deliberate choice costs nothing.
- Keep going while you are right. Rounds continue as long as your guesses hold up, and the length of that run is the score everyone compares.
- Come back the next day for a fresh set. The matchups rotate daily, which is what makes a long streak an achievement rather than a lucky afternoon.
- Open the history panel after a wrong answer. Seeing the margin on a matchup you misread teaches more than the result alone.
- Turn on Evil Mode once the standard rounds feel readable. It strips every photograph to greyscale and tracks your record separately.
Tips
- Popularity is not quality. A plain plate photographed brightly often beats a sophisticated dish shot in bad light, because votes follow the picture as much as the food.
- In greyscale you lose the two strongest signals, browning and freshness, so switch to reading portion size, plating and contrast instead.
- Trust the first instinct on close calls. The long deliberations in this game tend to talk you out of a correct read.
Questions about Scrandle
Where do the results come from?
Each pairing is drawn from a real public poll, so the correct answer reflects how a large group actually voted rather than a number the game invented.
What is Evil Mode?
A greyscale version of the same matchups. Colour carries most of the appetite cues, and removing it makes the read considerably harder. Its statistics are kept apart from your normal record.
Does the game change every day?
Yes. A new set arrives daily, which is what makes a streak worth keeping and gives a reason to return.
Can I play it on a phone?
Yes. The whole game is one tap per round, so a small screen loses nothing except a little photographic detail.
