Spotle Movies answer today: hints for the daily film (Nov 9)

If you've already done today's Spotle and fancy a crack at something a bit more Saturday-night-in, Spotle Movies swaps music artists for films and gives you 10 guesses to find the mystery movie. We've got hints below that narrow it down one clue at a time, followed by the answer if you just want to keep your streak alive.

Each guess flips eight tiles showing how close you were on director, cast, year, box office, score, age rating, genres and studio, and a yellow tile on year, box office or score comes with an arrow telling you which way to go. It's a bit like playing Guess Who with an IMDb page.

Spotle Movies answer today

SPOILER WARNING: the answer is right below, so stop scrolling if you'd rather solve it yourself.

The answer to today's Spotle Movies is The Little Mermaid, which follows the journey of a young mermaid princess willing to leave her life beneath the sea behind.

How to play Spotle Movies

Spotle Movies is a free daily game from Flatwhite Studios, and you've got 10 guesses to name the film on the Spotle Movies site. Type a title, pick it from the dropdown, and the eight tiles show green for an exact match, yellow if you're close and grey if you're nowhere near.

"Close" has its own rules for each tile. A yellow year means within five years, a yellow box office means within $100 million, and a yellow score means within five points of the film's TMDB rating. Cast is the clever one, because a yellow tile means the right actor turned up, just in a different-sized role.

When is the next Spotle Movies game?

A new film goes live at midnight Eastern time, which is 5am UK time.

Well, that's a wrap for today's film. Come back tomorrow for the next one, and if you've got the music version on the go as well, our Spotle answer today page has you covered.
