GeneGuessr - Daily Protein Guessing Game 

How to Play GeneGuessr 

Welcome to GeneGuessr! 

This is the protein of the day. Can you figure out which gene made
it?

You will see spoiler bars that cover valuable hints. Tap the spoiler
bar to reveal a hint underneath.

Look up your favorite gene with the search bar. Submit it as your
first guess.

Feedback cards 

Each of your guesses will appear as a feedback card.

The feedback bar percentage shows how close you got.

Look for highlighted properties. They match your target.

Revealing hints 

It costs 1 hint to remove a spoiler bar. You get +1 hint for each
guess.

When the hint is too obvious, the bar stays locked. Just try
unlocking another one.

You get to make 10 guesses before the game ends. Feel free to
experiment!
