Tuesday, 11 August 2026, and here we are again with another instalment of Cardle of the Day, the series where we work through each morning’s puzzle at Cardle and then spend a little time with whatever car the game has decided to throw at us. For anyone new to Cardle, the premise is beautifully simple: one car, five photo clues, each one a little less cropped than the last. You can guess at any point or skip a clue if you’d rather wait for more to reveal itself. It was, in fact, the Jaguar XE. What the XE Actually IsThe Jaguar XE arrived in 2015 as the brand’s attempt to take the fight directly to the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class on their own turf.
