What Is LoLdle?

LoLdle is a daily League of Legends guessing game built around champions.

Rather than relying on a single puzzle, it cycles through five different modes, giving you a fresh challenge each day that tests your knowledge of champions, voice lines, abilities, and splash art.

The puzzle refreshes daily, so solving all the LoLdle answers is certainly a great way to start your day or ranked session, especially if you’re stuck in a longer queue.

All LoLdle Game Modes Explained

LoLdle has five different modes: Classic, Quote, Ability, Emoji, and Splash Art. Each demands the same thing—a champion name—using a different type of clue. That mix is why getting all the answers correct on the first try often feels impossible.

Here is a brief explanation of how each LoLdle mode works:

Classic Mode

Classic mode works like an attribute grid. Each guess returns information that narrows the champion pool, such as clues about gender, role, region, and release date. Wrong guesses still help, because every tile you lock in removes a dozen champions.

Quote Mode

Quote mode gives one voice line and asks who says it. If there are six unsuccessful guesses, the puzzle also provides an audio clue to help it narrow down. It can be tricky because a lot of champions share similar tone and themes, and the lines can be short and generic.

Ability Mode

Ability mode shows an ability icon with no kit context. That’s why today’s LoLdle ability answer can feel hard for even casual players. Many champions share a similar icon theme across classes, and reworks make things even more confusing.

Emoji Mode

Emoji mode uses a string of Emojis to hint at a champion’s identity. The symbols can reference lore, signature weapons, animals, elements, or playstyle. Each Emoji works like a small clue that narrows the options.

Splash Art Mode

Splash mode uses a zoomed-in or partial splash image, sometimes from a League of Legends skin. The traps are similar color themes and armor silhouettes, especially in popular skin lines, where VFX can look interchangeable.
