          How to play

          Type a breed and pick it from the list. Any of the breeds in the encyclopedia can be guessed. Each guess is compared with the mystery breed:

          • Match Origin: the same country. Height: about the same. Colours: the same set. Name: the same first letter.
          • Close Origin: the same continent. Height: within about a hand (4 inches). Colours: some in common.
          • Miss Nothing in common.
          • Height The mystery breed is taller (↑) or shorter (↓) than your guess.
          • Name The mystery breed's name comes earlier (←) or later (→) in the alphabet.

          The photo starts as a blurred close-up and zooms out with every wrong guess. More hints unlock as you go: the continent after two wrong guesses, the first letter after three and the country after five. A new puzzle starts at midnight, your time.
