on wordlecup.today
WordleCup is a daily player guessing game. In its Soccer Wordle you have six tries to find a hidden footballer, and each guess is compared with the answer on eight clues coloured green for a match or yellow for close, with grey meaning no match at all. Basketball and NFL versions use the same format.
About WordleCup
WordleCup, also called Soccer Wordle or Football Wordle on the site, swaps letters for player facts. Each day one footballer is hidden, picked by an algorithm from the date so that everyone gets the same player. You have six tries to name them.
Every guess is checked on eight clues: league, club, nation, position, age, height, shirt number and preferred foot. Green means an exact match. Yellow means close: a league in the same country, a club in the same league, a nation on the same continent, a position in the same group, or a number within a threshold, which for age is usually two years. Numeric clues also show arrows telling you to go higher or lower. Grey means no match.
The same game runs for NBA basketball and NFL American football. A new player appears in each at midnight UTC, and only today's puzzle can be played.
You can play as a guest with progress kept on your device, or sign in with Google to keep your streak across devices. After a game, the share button copies your coloured grid. The site also has other football dailies, among them a face quiz and a heatmap. Google AdSense ads run in the page around the board.

Tips
- Start with a well known player from a big league so the league and nation clues narrow things down at once.
- A yellow club means the right league: switch to another club in the same league.
- Use age and shirt number arrows together to cut the list of candidates quickly.
- Remember yellow nation means same continent, so stay on that continent for the next guess.
