How to Play
Welcome to AO3dle! Here's how to play:
- You'll see two characters or tags side by side
- The left side shows a character/tag with its work count
- The right side shows another character/tag with a hidden work count (?)
- Your goal: Click on the character/tag you think has MORE works on AO3
- If you think the left character has more works, click on the left card
- If you think the right character has more works, click on the right card
- Try to build the longest streak possible!
Good luck and have fun!

This website is currently in alpha. Please be aware that:

Non-Character Tags
What does "Include non-character tags" mean?
This toggle controls whether the game includes tags that aren't characters (like relationships, general tags, etc.) or focuses only on specific characters.
⚠️ Warning: Some non-character tags may contain disturbing or mature content. I are working to filter these out, but due to the large number of tags, this process will take time.
Hard Mode
What is Hard Mode?
Hard Mode increases the difficulty by giving you three characters to choose from instead of two, and hiding all work counts!
When enabled:
- Shows three characters side by side
- All work counts are hidden
- Characters are somewhat balanced to avoid extreme differences
We love choosing between three things!
Last Chatter Standing
What is Last Chatter Standing?
An elimination-style game mode where chatters compete until only one remains!
How it works:
- All chatters start as participants in the first round
- Vote by typing "1", "2", or "3" (for hard mode) in chat
- Wrong guesses or failing to vote eliminates you from the game
- After the first round ends, no new participants can join.
- Reset the leaderboard to start a new round
- Eliminated players are greyed out and cannot vote
- Game continues until 1 player remains or everyone is eliminated
Tip: press the red X on a chatter to eliminate them, and the green button to revive them!

⚠️ Content Warning
Warning: Including non-character tags may include disturbing or mature tags.
AO3 contains a wide variety of tags including mature themes, sensitive topics, and potentially disturbing content. While I am working to filter out inappropriate tags, this process will take some time due to the vast number of tags on the site.
By enabling this option, you acknowledge that you may encounter content that could be disturbing or inappropriate.
