You get the letters of a footballer, scrambled. Type the name they spell and press Guess; you have three tries, and accents and punctuation are ignored when checking.
Are spaces included?
No — the letters shown are the name without spaces.
Is it always a current player?
No, the database spans eras.
What happens after three tries?
The answer is revealed with the player’s nationality and club.
When does the puzzle change?
At midnight UTC — one puzzle per game per day, the same for everyone.
Where does the data come from?
Player puzzles use real club careers from Wikidata, the open database behind Wikipedia (public domain, CC0). Every clue is a career fact — a club a player has played for at any point, or the country he represented — so a transfer never makes an answer wrong. List puzzles use settled football history. Every puzzle is checked before it is published.
