Freehand is a collection of free daily estimation games

Freehand (freehand.fun) is a free collection of daily estimation games in the browser. Each one asks you to judge by eye something you would normally measure: an angle, a weight, a landing spot, a balance point, a count or a length of time. Every game has five rounds with one attempt each, and everyone in the world plays the same puzzles that day.

It belongs to the same family as Wordle and Connections: one short set a day, the same for everyone, easy to compare with friends. The difference is that there is no word or fact to know. Every round tests perception alone and is scored on how far off you were.

  • Halved: cut it in half gameHalved, by Freehand, is a free daily cut it in half game. Slice a pear, a bottle or a fish so both pieces weigh the same. Five objects a day.
  • Dropped: projectile gameGuess where the ball lands. Watch the first part of a throw, then call the landing spot before it gets there. A free daily projectile game, no formulas.
  • Angled: angle gameAn angle shows for three seconds, then you rebuild it from memory and see how many degrees off you were. No protractor, no sign-up.
  • Counted: guess how many gameGuess how many. A shelf, a tray or a crowd appears for a moment, then goes dark. Estimate the count without counting. Five scenes a day, no sign-up.
  • Timed: time estimation gameHold the button for an interval like 4.3 seconds, with no clock to watch. Five intervals a day, no sign-up.
  • Balanced: center of mass gameSlide the fulcrum to the point where an irregular object balances, then watch it tip. Five shapes a day, no sign-up.

New puzzles arrive at midnight, local time. Nothing to install: Freehand runs in the browser on a phone or a laptop. Your progress is saved on your device, and completed daily scores are submitted to the shared board under an automatically assigned name. You can change that name without creating an account. Who makes Freehand.
