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, besides
the Feegeeans, Tongatobooarrs, Erromanggoans, Pannangians, and Brighggians,
and, besides the wild
specimens of the
whaling-craft
which unheeded reel
about the streets, you
will see other sights still more curious,
certainly more comical. There weekly arrive in this town scores of green Vermonters and
New Hampshire men, all athirst for gain and glory in the fishery. They are mostly young, of stalwart frames; fellows who
have felled forests, and now seek to drop the axe and snatch the whale-lance. Many are as green as the Green Mountains whence they came.
In some things you would think them but a few hours old. Look there! that chap strutting round the corner. He wears a beaver hat and swallow-tailed coat, girdled
with a sailor-belt and sheath-knife. Here comes another with a sou’-wester and a bombazine cloak.
