BIKLE - Tips and Previous Solutions

BIKLE can be tricky, can't it?

Even if there are more than 1,700 cyclists in our database (meaning more than 1,700 possible solutions), it is not easy to name more than a few of them while you are playing. We know that. 

But here we have a first tip for you: wrong answers and old solutions are VERY important while trying to solve a new Bikle. All those old names can give you valuable information about the letters forming the name of the new cyclist you are looking for.

Remember that you are NOT required to use the already found 'green' or 'yellow' letters in your next attempt. You can try with a name that doesn't have those correct letters, if that's useful for you to find out about other letters. 

Finally, the game also allows you to keep using the 'grey' letters (that is, letters you have already found out are not part of the correct name of the day), and they also can be very useful.

So, try to keep all of this in mind while playing. Have a look at the following list of the first solutions of the quiz, and keep having fun with BIKLE!
