About Paddockdle

Paddockdle builds the Wordle-style daily puzzle around Formula 1 drivers. In the Classic mode you type any driver from the modern era and submit. Each clue tile turns green for an exact match and amber when you are close, and arrows show whether the answer's age, number, debut season, title count or win count is higher or lower. Guesses are unlimited, so the challenge is to find the driver in as few as you can.

The answer changes at midnight UTC and is the same for everyone. Around the Classic puzzle the site runs more modes: Pixel, a photo of the driver that sharpens with each guess; Career, a stat card that unlocks one fact per guess; Connections, sixteen drivers to sort into four hidden groups of four; Track, where you name a circuit from its outline with distance and direction hints; and Trivia, ten multiple-choice questions a day. Endless lets you guess one driver after another without a daily limit.

The game is free with no sign-up and is available in nine languages. It is an unofficial fan project, not connected with Formula 1 or the FIA.

It suits F1 fans who want a quick daily check between race weekends.

Tips

• Open with a driver on the current grid; team, age and car number narrow the field fastest.
• When a tile is amber, follow the arrow and jump several years or numbers at once.
• Nationality plus debut season usually leaves only a handful of drivers.
