What is Player Wordle?
Player Wordle is a sports twist on the classic Wordle format. Instead of guessing a word, you're guessing a mystery sports player. With each guess, you see how your pick compares to the target across 7 attributes — sport, position, team, conference, division, height, and age.
Green means an exact match, yellow means close, and gray means wrong. Use the process of elimination to narrow it down in 8 guesses or fewer.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- 1Search for any sports player and submit your first guess.
- 2After each guess, 7 attributes are revealed: sport, position, team, conference, division, height, and age.
- 3Each attribute is color-coded: green means exact match, yellow means close, gray means wrong.
- 4Arrows on numeric attributes (height, age) show whether the target is higher or lower.
- 5Use the feedback to narrow down the mystery player with each guess.
- 6You have 8 total guesses to identify the correct player.
- 7If you guess correctly, the player is revealed and you earn a score based on how few guesses you used.
Tips & Strategies
- ●Start with a well-known player to establish the sport and conference.
- ●Pay attention to arrows on height and age — they narrow the field fast.
- ●Yellow on team often means same division or conference — use that to triangulate.
- ●Think about position groups — if QB is gray, don't guess another QB.
