Football Wordle (GridSport)

GridSport.Games is a football quiz site with three daily formats, Football Grid, Football Bingo and Football Wordle, made by Qubit10 and also available as an Android app. 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. There are 18 pools: Big 5 Leagues, Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, Super Lig, Eredivisie, Primeira Liga, Ekstraklasa, Russian Premier League, Super League Greece, Liga I, Brasileirao, Liga Argentina, Saudi Pro League, K League 1 and J1 League, so a football fan can play up to 18 a day. The mystery player is always an outfield player with five or more appearances in the current season (early in a season, last season's appearances count too), which keeps the answers to players people have seen recently.

You type a name into the search box and pick a player from the suggestions, which show his club, league badge, position and flag. 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 can send notifications when new challenges drop.

The game can be played in 18 languages, from English and Spanish to Japanese, Korean and Arabic. It suits fans of one league who want its own daily puzzle, and anyone who wants a harder pool such as the Ekstraklasa, the K League 1 or the Liga Argentina.
