7,000 of the words in Moby-Dick are used exactly once. Can you figure out where? Guess the chapter in which the word appears.
The game helps you zero in on the right chapter by telling you whether the chapter number you guessed was too high or too low, and eliminating chapters accordingly.
More of the surrounding paragraph is revealed after each guess. You have six guesses.
There will be a new Moby-Dordle each day.

But it may possibly be conceived that, in the internal parts of the whale, in
his anatomy — there, at least, we shall be able to hit
the right classification. Nay; what thing, for example, is there in
the Greenland whale’s anatomy more striking than his
baleen? Yet we have seen that by
his baleen it is
impossible correctly to
classify
the Greenland whale.
And if you descend
into the bowels of the various leviathans,
why there you will not find distinctions a
fiftieth part as available to the systematizer as those external ones
already enumerated. What then remains? nothing but to take hold of the
whales bodily, in their entire liberal volume, and boldly sort them that way. And this
is the Bibliographical system here adopted; and it is the only one that can possibly succeed, for it alone is practicable. To proceed.
