Sports Wordle: sports puzzles for player, team and league fans
Sports Wordle is what many fans search for when they want a sports puzzle after their daily Wordle. Wordle is the free daily game from The New York Times. You guess one five-letter word in six tries. Green, yellow, and gray tiles show which letters are right and where. Sports versions keep the daily guess but swap the word for a player or a team. Compare them by the answer, the sport, and the clues each guess gives you back.
Player puzzles across several sports
Some sites put many sports in one place. You can switch leagues without leaving the site.
Sportsdle
Sportsdle is a hub of daily player puzzles for the NHL, NFL, MLB, soccer, F1, and UFC. Each day you guess a mystery player, and every guess shows which stats and details match. It suits fans who follow more than one league and want all their daily puzzles on one site.
Immaculate Grid
Immaculate Grid is a sports grid, not a word puzzle. Each square sits where a row and a column meet, such as two teams, and you name a player who fits both. There are versions for baseball, football, basketball, and hockey. Pick it if you like to dig through whole careers instead of one player a day.
Player puzzles for one league
A one-league game gives you a smaller list of players. That helps when you know one sport really well.
Poeltl
Poeltl is the best-known NBA version. You guess an NBA player, and each guess shows if the team, conference, division, position, height, age, and jersey number match. Arrows tell you to go higher or lower on the numbers. It suits NBA fans who know the rosters.
Weddle
Weddle does the same for the NFL. Each guess compares the team, position, and other player details with the mystery player. It also has harder modes and modes for a single team. It suits fans who can name players from every NFL team.
MLB Pickle
MLB Pickle is the baseball game that started out as WARdle. You guess a major league player, and each guess shows if the team, league, division, batting hand, throwing hand, country, age, and position match. It suits baseball fans who remember more than the stars.
Gordle
Gordle is the hockey game that stays closest to the first Wordle. Every guess must be the last name of an NHL player, past or present. Green, yellow, and gray tiles show the letters, just like Wordle. It suits hockey fans who also like the spelling side of Wordle.
Who Are Ya?
Who Are Ya? is a daily soccer game. You guess a pro soccer player from the top European leagues. Each wrong guess shows if you got the nationality, league, or team right. You can also play one league only, such as the Premier League or LaLiga. It suits fans who follow players across clubs and countries.
