Did you know?

  • Venus is the hottest planet, hotter even than Mercury, and hot enough to melt lead.
  • Venus spins backwards, so there the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east.

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.
