Common Questions
The idea that any two actors can be connected through shared appearances in six films or fewer. Typecasted makes this playable as a daily puzzle.
Start from today's seed film and build the longest chain you can. Link film → actor → film, with no repeats allowed. You have 20 seconds per guess — the clock resets with each correct link. When time runs out, your chain length is your score. See how you ranked against everyone else who played today on the daily leaderboard.
You're given two films — a start and a destination. Your job is to connect them by chaining films through shared cast members. Complete the path in 5 moves or fewer and you've Made the Cut. There's no timer, so take your time. After finishing, you can see the shortest possible path and a breakdown of how all players solved it today.
