Guess the Player
Read the career. Name the player. How to play
How to play
- 1The player’s clubs are laid out in career order, face down. Years are visible.
- 2Flip any club you like, or use a scout card (nationality, position, era, honour when available) — each one costs points.
- 3Guess any time. A wrong guess reveals any club your guess shares with the mystery player, plus whether nation and position match.
- 4You start on 100: a flip costs 10, a scout card 8, a wrong guess 6. Clubs revealed by your guesses are free. Six guesses per puzzle.
- 5The daily gets harder through the week: Monday is the easiest, the weekend the hardest.
FAQ
Where does the career data come from?+
Club spells are taken from Wikidata (CC0) with start and end years. We exclude youth and reserve teams and any player whose career record looks incomplete.
Is there a new puzzle every day?+
Yes. The daily career resets at 00:00 UTC and is the same for everyone.
How is difficulty decided?+
Difficulty is computed from data, not hand-picked: how well-known the player and their clubs are, how many clubs they had, and how many other players share those clubs.
Can I challenge a friend?+
Yes. Everyone gets the same daily player, so send your friends the link and compare how many clues you needed.
