Rule34dle Rules, Scoring and Controls

Check Rule34dle's win condition, tie handling, Endless streaks, Daily scores, keyboard controls, settings, and Legends rules.

Rule34dle always asks you to select the card with the largest indexed post total under the active filter. In standard mode, one total is visible. In the three-way showdown, all three totals stay hidden until you commit.

What happens on equal totals?

The winning value is the highest displayed total. If multiple cards share that same highest value, choosing any card with the highest total is treated as correct. Exact ties are uncommon, but the comparison logic recognizes the shared maximum.

How the filters affect a correct answer

The franchise switch changes which entries may appear; it does not alter an entry’s identity. The AI switch changes the count used for each eligible roster entry from the regular total to the non-AI total. That can change which card wins a close matchup, so always check the switch before guessing from memory.

Player name and Legends

The Legends name must be 3–20 characters. Normal, Hard, and Daily results have separate views. Normal and Hard rank the best streak; Daily ranks the score and uses completion time as a tie-breaker. The game server verifies submitted results before displaying them.

Your browser stores the anonymous player key and preferred options. Clearing site data can create a new identity even if you reuse the same display name. Treat the name as a label, not a password or account recovery method.

Safe control habits

  • Use number keys only when the matching card is visible.
  • Do not double-click; the board locks after the first selection.
  • On a phone, tap the card itself rather than the small text inside it.
  • If the result panel does not appear, wait for the request before reloading.
  • In Daily mode, complete all ten matchups to finalize the score.
