There is no signup and no paywall. Your streak and statistics are stored in your browser’s local storage, on your device. We do not run accounts and we do not ask for an email address to let you play.
Where the words come from
The answer list is our own: football vocabulary, real five-letter footballer surnames and club names drawn from a football database assembled from open data (primarily DBpedia, derived from Wikipedia under a free licence). Guesses are checked against a standard five-letter word list so no real word is rejected.
The daily word is chosen deterministically from the date, which is why everybody gets the same puzzle on the same day.
Independence
Extra Time publishes independent daily games. Not affiliated with any other games site.
This is an independent project. It is not affiliated with any club, league, federation, or with any other games site, and it does not present itself as an official source for any of them. Club and player names are used descriptively to refer to the subjects of the puzzles.
Corrections
If a record about a player or club is wrong, that matters more than a score does — the puzzles are only worth playing if the clues are trustworthy. Corrections are welcome and are applied to the database.
