Before & After
First here, then there. Nine moves, no repeats. How to play
How to play
- 1Rows are where a player was first. Columns are where he went later.
- 2Tap a cell and name a player who played for the row club, then later for the column club. He doesn’t have to have moved directly. Each empty cell shows how many answers it has.
- 3Order matters: a player who went the other way round, column club first, doesn’t count.
- 4You have twelve guesses for nine cells, so a few misses are fine. Each player can fill only one cell.
- 5Each correct cell scores 1–5 rarity points. Less well-known players score more. At the end you see every valid answer for every cell.
- 6The daily gets harder through the week: Monday and Tuesday are easy, the weekend is hard.
FAQ
Does the move have to be direct?+
No. The player just needs a spell at the row club that started before a spell at the column club. Other clubs in between are fine.
What if he played for both, but the other way round?+
Then he doesn’t fit that cell. The game tells you when a guess was the wrong way round, and it still uses a guess.
How is rarity scored?+
From how well-known each player is, compared with the cell’s other valid answers and with every player in our dataset. It is never based on other people’s answers, which we don’t collect.
Is every cell solvable?+
Yes. Every cell has at least three valid answers (five on easy days) and at least one well-known one, and the nine cells can always be filled with nine different players.
What counts as playing for a club?+
Any senior spell at the club in our Wikidata-based career data, loans included. Youth and reserve teams don’t count.
Can I challenge a friend?+
Yes. Everyone gets the same daily grid, so send your friends the link and compare scores. The link never reveals your answers.
