Football Wordle (GridSport)

About Football Wordle (GridSport)

GridSport.Games is a football quiz site with three daily formats, Football Grid, Football Bingo and Football Wordle. Football Wordle is its guess-the-player game, and despite the name it works on player attributes rather than letters.

Each puzzle is dated, and a fresh one starts for every pool at 05:00 UTC. The pools are the Big 5 Leagues combined, the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, the Super Lig, the Brasileirao and the Liga Argentina, so a football fan can play up to nine a day. The mystery player is always an outfield player with five or more appearances in the current season, which keeps the answers to players people have seen this year.

You type a name into the search box and pick a player. The row that comes back has four columns, league, club, country and position, each green if it matches the mystery player and red if not. You have eight guesses, a Give Up button if you are stuck, and Share and Replay once a puzzle is done. The site also offers notifications when new challenges drop.

It suits fans of one league who want its own daily puzzle, and anyone who wants a tougher pool such as the Argentine or Brazilian league.

How to play Football Wordle (GridSport)

1. Open Football Wordle and choose a pool, such as Premier League or Big 5 Leagues.
2. Search for a footballer and pick him as your guess.
3. Read the four columns: league, club, country and position, each green or red.
4. Narrow it down with each guess.
5. Find the player within eight guesses, then try another pool.

Tips

• In a single-league pool, guess first by position and country, since the league is already known.
• A green club tile with eight guesses left: list that club's outfield regulars and work through them.
• Only outfield players with five or more appearances this season can be the answer, so leave out goalkeepers.
