Noilion: the daily guessing game where the middle answer wins
Every day, Noilion gives you three new prompts like “Name a fast food chain.” Your goal is not the most popular answer and not the rarest one. Guess the answer about half of players would say, and land between 42% and 58% to hit the bullseye.
What kind of game is Noilion?
Noilion is a free daily game you play in your browser on a phone or computer, with no app and no sign-up. It mixes a category game with a word association game: you see a category, you name something in it, and the meter shows how many players thought of the same thing.
If you enjoy daily games like Wordle, higher or lower games, or rare answer games where you try to say something nobody else would, Noilion sits right between them. Too common pushes you lower, too rare pushes you higher, and the best players think like half the room.
How it works
- Each card has a new prompt and up to three unique guesses.
- Below 42% is too rare. Above 58% is too common. The green 42–58% zone is a bullseye and ends that card.
- The closer to 50%, the more points you earn. Three cards add up to 300 points.
Tips for a better score
- Skip the very first answer that comes to mind. Most players say it too, so it is usually too common.
- Go one step less obvious: the second or third thing most people would list.
- Read the meter after each guess. Orange means go less common, blue means go more common.
- Only your best guess counts, so a safe first guess never hurts your score.
