Human
This clue typically eliminates the majority of the roster — affiliation and first-arc clues on their own cut the candidate pool by 70–90% depending on how common the value is.

Clue 3 — Haki

Why We Hide the Answer by Default
Every answer on Animedle sits behind a native HTML spoiler toggle. The answer is present in the raw HTML — Google and LLMs index it normally — but visually hidden until a reader chooses to reveal. This is the only OnePieceDle archive with spoiler-safe browsing by default, and it is what makes the archive usable during active play-days instead of only afterward.
