Cast Six is a daily movie puzzle where your mission is to match six movies to six overlapping categories in just three takes.

You're given six film titles and six genre or theme categories. The twist? Each movie can fit more than one category, but there's only one arrangement where all six movies lock into place. Your job is to find it.

  • Drag a movie to a category, or tap the movie then tap its slot.
  • Each movie must be used exactly once.
  • A movie might qualify for multiple categories, but only one assignment per film will complete the full set.
  • Submit your lineup to see what fits. Green means correct, red means try another slot.
  • Clear wrong keeps your green matches locked while you rethink the rest.
  • You have 3 takes to solve the puzzle before it's game over.
  • Scoring starts at 1,000 points. Mistakes and reassignments cost points, but there's no speed penalty.
  • Use up to 3 hints (minus 150 points each) to auto-place a correct match.

Why we like it:

  • The overlapping categories make every puzzle a satisfying logic challenge, not just trivia.
  • Three takes is the perfect balance between forgiving and tense.
  • Even film buffs will second guess themselves when multiple answers feel right.

Hint: Start with the most specific or unusual category. Animated or Mystery usually has fewer candidates than something broad like Thriller. Lock down the obvious ones first, then let the remaining movies fall into place.
