Play Cast SixA fresh puzzle is waiting for you.
Cast Six challenges players to match six movie titles to six overlapping clues on a daily puzzle. You place each movie into one or more category slots, then use up to three checks to confirm your lineup; green matches are correct and can still be moved to finish the full set. The game presents a new daily puzzle at a fixed time and also offers themed packs and archive play.
Play requires no download or account for daily and archive rounds, and the site offers five free library puzzles per Eastern day unless you sign up by email for unlimited library play. Director's notes are available as optional nudges that place a correct match for a point penalty, and movie data and posters are sourced from TMDB with AI assistance used in development. Controls support clicking, tapping, dragging, keyboard shortcuts and undo.
How to play Cast Six
- Choose a movie or a category first by clicking or tapping a poster or a clue.
- Drag a movie onto a category or select both movie and category to place a candidate match.
- When all six movies are placed, press Check to validate the lineup; green means the match is correct.
- You get up to three Checks per round and may use Director's notes to auto-place a correct match at a point cost.
Tips for Cast Six
- Start by placing movies that clearly fit only one category to reduce ambiguity for the others.
- Use the five free library puzzles per Eastern day to practice overlapping fits before attempting the daily.
- Reserve Director's notes for later if you can deduce most of the lineup, since each note costs points.
- Make use of Undo and rearranging freely to explore alternative placements without losing checks until you press Check.

Green indicates a correct match but that movie can still be moved to finish the lineup, while red marks are incorrect and Clear Wrong will return only those red-matched posters to the pool. Director's notes are hints that will place a correct match for a points penalty rather than using a Check.
