Did you know?

  • Charon is about half as wide as Pluto, so the two circle a point in space between them.
  • Pluto and Charon always show each other the same face.

Could you guess it from clues?

WildGuessr picks a secret animal, plant, fungus, stone, prehistoric creature or space object and you ask yes-or-no questions about it, such as its group or where it grows. The fewer clues you need, the more points you score.
