What makes it a frog

Wikipedia's Frog article gives adult frogs a stout body, protruding eyes and no tail. So the eyes here stand up above the head, each a lowercase o in a small bump, and the mouth is a row of underscores as wide as the face. Frog face, wide mouth is 5 lines by 15 columns.

Two you can write on

Frog with a board takes 10 characters where it says YOUR WORDS, or 15 with the padding. Frog saying ribbit has a speech bubble: type over RIBBIT!, 7 characters.

  • For a text art toad, Toad with warts is a wide face with bumps on its skin, and Squash-proof toad is four rows of eleven.
  • Squash-proof has six pieces with no run of spaces: three one-liners, a face, a sitting frog and a toad.
  • The frog emoji and more one-line text frogs are on frog emoji.

How this list was compiled: Own work: every piece was drawn for this page on 2026-10-02, rendered in a monospaced font and looked at; none is copied from an archive or another site, and nothing from a named show, book or game is drawn. The frogs share one construction of this site's own: two eyes that stand up above the head, each a lowercase o in a small bump, and a mouth of underscores as wide as the face. Read on 2026-10-02 in Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0): grown frogs have a stout body, protruding eyes, limbs folded underneath and no tail, and their eggs hatch into tadpoles, which have tails (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog); toads include various warty-skinned frogs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toad). Every character is one of the 95 printable ASCII characters, U+0020 to U+007E. Squash-proof means no line starts with a space and no two spaces touch. The comment box badge means at most 8 lines and 30 columns: a rule of thumb of this site, not a promise about any app. Licence: own work
