CoStar: Movie Links

A new pair of actors every day. Link them through the films they shared in as few steps as you can, then share your streak.

Verified every name below appears in the shipped dataset and is daily-eligible. 1,847 characters, well under the 4,000 limit.

Two actors. One chain of films. How short can you make it?

CoStar gives you a new pair of performers every day. Link them by stepping through films they actually appeared in: pick a movie, pick a co-star from its cast, and repeat until you reach the target. Fewest films wins.

Everyone gets the same pair on the same day, so you can compare with friends and argue about who took the smarter route.

A DAILY PUZZLE THAT TAKES FIVE MINUTES Today's pair, one shot, one score. Build a streak and watch your solve distribution fill in.

BROWSE, DON'T GUESS Tap through a performer's real filmography and pick the connection you spot. You don't need to recall co-stars from memory, which means you can actually finish the thing.

HARD MODE, IF YOU WANT IT Hard mode hides the filmography and the target score. Search the whole library by name and work it out cold. Your difficulty is recorded with your result, because a challenge nobody can see isn't worth much.

STUCK? SEE HOW CLOSE YOU WERE Ask for the answer and CoStar finishes the chain from wherever you stopped, then tells you whether your own route was still on par. You keep your streak. You just don't get a perfect solve.

MAKE YOUR OWN CHALLENGE Pick any two people in the library and send the pair to someone. Custom challenges draw from the full roster, so you can be as unfair as you like.

EXPLORE 4,000 FILMS Wander the whole library. Every performer, their credits, and everyone they've worked with, each one a tap away. Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Sigourney Weaver, Samuel L. Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg, Keanu Reeves and thousands more.

FOURTEEN THEMES Eleven dark, three light. Change it whenever you like.

NO ACCOUNTS, NO ADS, NO TRACKING No sign-in, no analytics, nothing collected. Your streak lives on your device. CoStar works offline; it only reaches out about once a week to refresh the film list.

Free, with an optional tip if you enjoy it.

The film list is curated rather than exhaustive. A complete credits database links almost anyone in two steps through documentaries and talk shows, which would make every puzzle identical. CoStar sticks to well-known theatrical features so the connections are ones you have a fair chance of knowing.
