What is Cutle?
Cutle is summed up in a single sentence, the one the page uses as title and description: « Cut the shape perfectly in half! ». There is nothing to read, nothing to type, nothing to memorize. A solid purple shape occupies the center of the screen, rounded on one side, tapered to a point on the other, placed inside a large gray circle drawn with a thin outline that extends well beyond its edges. The whole question is to find where the line runs that divides it into two strictly equal halves, on an irregular contour that offers no obvious axis of symmetry. No text accompanies the shape, no grid assists you: the game is played by eye, against a figure drawn to deceive the first reflex.
How to play
- Open pfiffel.com/cutle/. There is no home screen or start button: the shape is already on the screen.
- Handle the consent banner. Refusing it leaves the shape displayed.
- Fold away the bottom advertisement panel if you want to see the entire shape: a chevron on its upper edge hides it.
- Identify the two elements on the board and don't confuse them: the purple shape to be cut, and the large gray circle that surrounds it.
- Aim for the objective stated by the page: split this shape into two exactly equal halves.
Why play Cutle?
Because the question Cutle poses is physical and cannot be bypassed by vocabulary, general knowledge or a solver trick. A surface, a line, and the eye that must decide alone. The purple shape says much about the intent: one side round and wide, one side stretching into a point, no symmetry axis to spot at a glance, exactly the kind of silhouette where the line that looks right is not. The rest of the page is of the same cloth, stripped to the bone. No inscription, no forced tutorial, no menu to navigate: the address opens directly on the shape.
Reading the feedback
The browser remembers two display settings between visits. On the game screen itself, no attempt counter, no score, and no countdown to the next shape appear.
Modes
- Core play
- The page opens directly on a single puzzle: a solid purple shape inside a large gray circle with no start screen or mode selector. There is no mode label, no alternate mode and no visible selector in the header, which holds only the calendar, statistics and history icons. One default play mode: present the shape and cut it in half.
Tips & strategy
- Don't take the gray circle for the target. It is much larger than the shape and surrounds it completely: what must be cut in two is the purple polygon inside.
- Open the How to Play panel before you start. It is present on the page, behind the row of icons beneath the logo.
- The advertisement panel sits at the bottom and encroaches on the board. Collapsing it with a click on its chevron makes the lower part of the shape visible, which matters when estimating areas.
Popular questions
Do you need an account to play Cutle?
No. There is no login button and no input field. Everything is kept locally in the browser: the game's settings, two history markers and an anonymous session identifier.
Can you play while refusing advertising cookies?
Yes. Refusing the consent banner leaves the shape displayed.
Is there a new shape every day?
No countdown, no game date and no mode label appear on the game screen. A calendar icon does appear in the header, alongside a statistics icon and a history icon.
How exactly do you draw the cut?
The game does not display a gesture instruction on its main screen. The How to Play panel present on the page is where to find it.
Is the game played with the keyboard?
Nothing suggests that. There is neither a virtual keyboard nor a key, and the page contains no text field: everything happens on the shape itself.
