F1 Gridle

F1 Gridle is a daily guessing game for Formula 1 fans, played in the browser with no sign-up. Each day there is one mystery driver to find, and you have six guesses to name him.

You search for any driver in the pool and submit him as a guess. The game then lays out a row of six clues for that driver: nationality, debut team, world titles, race wins, debut year and the last season he was active. Each clue turns green when it matches the mystery driver and red when it does not, and the number clues carry an arrow saying whether the answer is higher or lower. A number clue turns amber when it is close (in Midfield, within 7 wins or 4 debut years), and the debut team clue turns amber when the team belongs to the same constructor family, such as Red Bull and Toro Rosso. A hint button is there if you are stuck.

What sets it apart from other guess-the-driver games is the choice of era. Rookie draws from the current grid and recent drivers (2021 onward, 36 drivers), Midfield from the modern era since 2010 (84 drivers), Champion from every driver since 2000 (127) and Legend from all of F1 history since 1950 (174). Each mode has its own puzzle every day, so you can play the easy one and then try the harder ones.

After a round the game shows a fun fact about the driver, a countdown to the next puzzle, your streak and stats, and a button to share your result as a grid of coloured squares. It suits F1 fans who know the current grid, and in Legend mode, those who know the sport's history.
