How It Works

Dinosauria is a phylogenetic clade, meaning all of its members share a common ancestor. Within Dinosauria, some members are more closely related to each other, than to others.

​​

Inspired by Metazooa, DinoTree is a phylogenetic guessing game. Think of it like Wordle for dinosaurs

​

Every day there will be a new dinosaur genus to guess. As you make your guesses, a phylogenetic tree will branch out narrowing down the relationships by families of related dinosaurs.​

​

1. Enter a guess

2. Watch the phylogeny expand

3. Use the revealed tree to inform your next guess

​​

Try to get it in the fewest guesses, and compare your score with your friends!
