About Spielbergdle

Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park sit this one out, since both have games of their own. What's left is every other Spielberg film with a cast worth guessing, from the truck driver in Duel to Disclosure Day, and it makes for an odd crowd. The shark from Jaws, Joey the war horse, Tinker Bell and the BFG all share a pool with Captain Miller's squad.

Spielbergdle has 82 characters, and Hook and Saving Private Ryan bring nine apiece. Grown men make up 47 of them, so a Kind tile that comes back Animal, Alien, Giant or Robot is worth celebrating in a Steven Spielberg Wordle. The faces that catch people are the small parts: Thud Butt from the Lost Boys, Steamboat Willie, the German prisoner Miller's men let go, or Valentina behind the drugstore counter in West Side Story.
