How to Play
NFL Wordle is built on real NFL player data. Read the feedback carefully and zero in on the correct player in as few guesses as possible.
Game overview
- A fresh NFL player puzzle unlocks every day at 8PM ET.
- You get up to 8 guesses. Use each feedback row to narrow down the answer.
- Desktop and mobile are supported. Progress is saved locally on the current device.
Feedback legend
- Team / Division: Green = exact. Blue = same conference, different division. Red = mismatch.
- Position: Green = exact position. Red = mismatch. Missing data (from Sleeper) appears grey.
- Age / Weight / Jersey: Directional arrows (↑/↓) plus difference help you triangulate quickly.
- Height: Sleeper often stores height as strings (e.g., 6'2"). For MVP we mark height as unavailable.
Sharing & streaks
- After solving, you can copy a share summary with guess count and feedback rows.
- We track streaks per device. Clearing browser storage or switching devices resets it.
- Invites and leaderboards will launch soon – sharing with friends will boost your score.
FAQ
- The first player search can take a few seconds — Sleeper provides a large dataset. Subsequent calls are faster.
- You can only solve today’s puzzle once. Archives will arrive later so you can revisit past players.
- If you hit an “Upstash env missing” or 500 error, refresh the page or try again shortly.
